Garmin STRIKER Vivid 5cv

Five inches of fish-finding fun

Garmin's STRIKER Vivid 5cv fishfinder takes a lot of the guesswork out of your marine adventures with a pleasant 5" display and high-performance sonar capabilities. It also boasts seven new high-contrast color palettes, making it easier than ever to locate your quarry beneath the surface. With Garmin's dual-beam transducer leading the way to where the fish are hiding, you're sure to get more out of your time on the water.
 

Easy-to-read images

The STRIKER Vivid 5cv includes a Garmin GT-20TM transducer that gives you traditional CHIRP sonar, plus Garmin ClearVü scanning sonar. This highly accurate scanning sonar combo gives you a nearly photographic image of what's up to 250 feet below your boat, providing the clarity and detail you need to distinguish fish and structures. Instead of sending just one frequency, CHIRP sonar sends out a continual sweep of low and high frequencies. The wider range of information means you'll see crisper fish arches and better target separation. And with those seven different scanning sonar color palettes at your disposal, you'll be able to distinguish fish from structures more easily than ever.

Get back to your favorite fishing hotspots

This feature-packed unit also includes highly sensitive GPS that helps you locate your current position quickly, while Quickdraw Contours mapping software lets you create your own unique HD fishing maps with 1' contours. You can store up to 2 million acres, so if you find a spot where they're biting, you can mark it and come back later. You can also mark important waypoints like docks and ramps, or even brush piles and stumps.

A smashingly useful flasher

The STRIKER Vivid 5cv also sports a built-in flasher, so any time you're fishing from a stationary position, you'll get a good view of the bottom, whether it's solid or muddy. You can track your jig or weighted bait, plus the depth of the fish as they swim into the beam. You can even see whether fish move toward or away from your jig.

Track your speed

If you're trolling, you want to maintain just the right speed. With the STRIKER Vivid 5cv, you can check the speed on the 5" screen. It's also a very handy feature when you're in a wake-controlled area.
