Garmin STRIKER™ Plus 5CV Portable w/GT8HW-IF Transducer Product Description
Dominate Ice Fishing with Advanced Sonar Precision
Imagine drilling your hole, dropping your line, and instantly seeing every jig twitch and fish reaction below the ice. The Garmin STRIKER Plus 5CV portable bundle transforms frustrating guesswork into confident bites. Tailored for hardcore ice anglers, this setup pairs a vibrant 5-inch display with a specialized GT8HW-IF transducer that cuts through murky winter waters like a hot knife.
Unlike basic sonar units that blur targets into vague clouds, this CHIRP-powered beast sweeps frequencies continuously. Low-end pulses penetrate deep for structure, while high-end ones sharpen fish arches—giving you separation so precise, you can tell a perch from a pike before it strikes. Anglers report landing trophy walleye faster because they spot subtle movements others miss.
Unlock Custom Maps with Quickdraw Contours
Your local lake's contours change yearly with weather and currents—no stock map nails it. That's where built-in Quickdraw Contours shines. As you fish, it auto-generates high-definition maps with 1-foot detail, storing up to 2 million acres. Mark that honey hole where crappies stack up, and navigate back effortlessly next season.
Pro tip: Fish with buddies and share contours via compatible apps (where supported). Over time, build a personal database rivaling pro charts, saving hours scouting and boosting your catch rates on familiar waters.
Flasher Mode: Your Vertical Fishing Secret Weapon
Stationary jigging demands real-time intel. The integrated flasher displays your bait's depth, lift height, and fish responses in a classic circular sweep—perfect for tip-ups or deadsticking. Watch perch swarm your glow jig or panfish flee a too-aggressive drop, adjusting on the fly.
Ice veterans swear by it for species like bluegill or lake trout, where timing beats tackle. Pair it with A-Scope for a linear view of targets zipping through the beam, minimizing empty hooks.
Built-in GPS: Never Lose Your Edge
High-sensitivity GPS plots waypoints on structures, reefs, or drop-offs. Drift off your spot in whiteout conditions? One tap returns you precisely. It's not just navigation—it's bite repeatability, turning one good day into a season of success.
Bonus: Ultrascroll keeps returns steady at speed, Fish Symbol ID auto-tags targets, and AutoGain dials clarity without fuss.
Rugged Portability for Harsh Conditions
Weighing just 1 lb with IPX7 water resistance, it's ready for slushy holes and sudden squalls. The sunlight-readable WVGA screen (800x480 pixels) stays sharp under glare. Everything packs into a dedicated case: transducer, cables, rechargeable battery, charger, tilt/swivel mount, foam float, and more. Drill, deploy, fish—done.
Transition to open water? Add ClearVü transducers for side/down scanning (compatible options available separately) to reveal bait schools hiding in weeds.

Experience the Clarity of CHIRP
This transducer is designed for ice fishing. CHIRP sends a continuous sweep of frequencies, ranging from low to high, instead of sending just one. When the frequencies return, CHIRP interprets them individually, gathering a wider range of information for crisp, clear fish arches and excellent target separation. The wide 16-24-degree beam angle covers a large area in the water, so you know what’s coming.
Garmin Quickdraw Contours
Nobody knows the waters you fish better than you and your fellow fishermen. While you are fishing the depths, Quickdraw Contours mapping software creates HD fishing maps of the places you’ve been. No special knowledge is required. Now you can store up to 2 million acres of your Quickdraw Contours maps with 1’ contours.
Fish Vertically with Built-in Flasher
STRIKER provides you with both a fishfinder and flasher all in 1 unit. Anytime you are stationary fishing, such as ice fishing or jigging for crappie, the built-in flasher will show your jig or weighted bait and the depth of fish as they swim into the sonar beam. You can even watch how high your jig is being lifted and dropped and whether fish move toward or away from it.
GPS Fishfinder
The built-in, high-sensitivity GPS allows you to mark waypoints for different locations. So, if the fish are biting in 1 spot, you can mark it, and return to it on your next trip. It’s also a great tool for finding your way back to your most productive fishing holes.
Built for You
The STRIKER Plus 5cv fishfinder makes fishing a breeze, and it’s built to work in any environment. The bright, sunlight-readable display gives you a clear view of what is below the ice, even on the brightest days. And the larger screen gives you a better view of what is happening below the ice. The intuitive user interface makes it simple to navigate to whatever feature you need, so you are ready for anything.
Add Garmin ClearVü Scanning Sonar
For warm season fishing, add CHIRP ClearVü scanning sonar capabilities to your STRIKER 5 ice fishing kit. For CHIRP ClearVü scanning sonar, add optional Garmin GT20 CHIRP traditional and CHIRP ClearVü scanning sonar (sold separately). For high-performance CHIRP, purchase a GT22 or GT23 (each sold separately).
