Garmin LiveScope Plus Ice Fishing Bundle

Garmin LiveScope Plus Ice Fishing Bundle is a premium, high-performance sonar system designed for real-time underwater viewing. It is highly regarded for its ability to track fish movement and structure under the ice with exceptional clarity.

Key Features

• LiveScope Plus System: Includes the LVS34-IF transducer and GLS 10 sonar black box, providing high-resolution imagery, reduced noise, and superior target separation.

• Real-Time Scanning: Allows you to see up to 200 feet in any direction in both Forward and Down modes, helping you locate schools of fish and decide exactly where to drill.

• Display: Typically bundled with a 9-inch ECHOMAP UHD2 touchscreen chartplotter (which also includes preloaded Garmin Navionics+ inland and coastal mapping).

• Portability: Comes in a rugged, portable carrying case with a handle, swivel pole mount for the transducer, power cable, and battery (options vary between standard lead-acid and lightweight lithium-ion).

• Year-Round Utility: While optimized for ice, the system can be transitioned for open-water boat use with an optional marine kit.

Considerations for Purchase

• Pricing: The complete bundle, including the chartplotter display, generally ranges from depending on the specific retailer and the battery type (lithium-ion bundles are typically at the higher end). Systems without the chartplotter display can be found for around $1,800.

• Availability: These bundles are popular and occasionally fluctuate in availability. It is recommended to check specialized marine electronics retailers or outdoor sports suppliers for the latest stock levels.

• Custom Bundles: Many anglers also opt for third-party “shuttle” systems (such as those from Summit Fishing) that allow you to customize the display, battery size, and transducer pole, often offering a more robust or lightweight build than the standard manufacturer kit.
