Garmin Striker 4 GPS Fishfinder vs Garmin EchoMap Ultra 2 106sv

The Striker 4 is the right first fish finder: a compact 3.5-inch color unit with built-in dual-beam CHIRP sonar, GPS and a transducer in the box, and owners rate it 4.4 out of 5 for being simple and dependable. The EchoMap Ultra 2 106sv is a different class of machine: a 10-inch touchscreen with UHD ClearVü and SideVü, Navionics+ charts, WiFi and LiveScope support, built for a boat with a battery and a dash. Buy the Striker 4 for a kayak, jon boat or ice rig; step up to the Ultra 2 only if you fish from a powered boat and want side imaging and live sonar.

  • Choose the Striker 4 if you want a small, self-contained sonar and GPS unit for a kayak, small boat or ice fishing, with the transducer included.
  • Choose the EchoMap Ultra 2 106sv if you fish from a powered boat and want a large touchscreen, side and down imaging, charts and LiveScope compatibility.

What reviewers say

Garmin Striker 4 GPS Fishfinder

  • 4.4 / 5283 ratings

Owners treat the Striker 4 as a dependable entry-level fishfinder that punches above its price. They like the clear sonar returns and the GPS for marking spots, and most complaints center on the small screen and basic mapping.

What people mention
  • Sonar clarityPraisedOwners say the dual-beam returns show fish and structure clearly for a unit this cheap.
  • Screen sizeCriticisedReviewers find the 3.5-inch display cramped, especially in split-screen mode.
  • GPSPraisedWaypoint marking and track logging are called reliable and easy to use.
  • MappingCriticisedBuyers note there are no charts or maps, only waypoints and tracks.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a kayak or ice fishing?
The Striker 4. It is small, light, runs on low current and includes its transducer. The Ultra 2 needs a boat's power and dash space.
Does the Striker 4 show side imaging?
No. It does traditional dual-beam CHIRP only. Side and down imaging start with units like the Ultra 2.
Is the Ultra 2 worth stepping up to?
If you fish from a powered boat and want side imaging, charts and LiveScope, yes. For a small boat or occasional use, the Striker 4 covers the basics.
Which has better GPS and mapping?
The Ultra 2. It has a 10 Hz multi-band GPS and preloaded Navionics+ charts. The Striker 4 has GPS for waypoints and tracks but no built-in charts.
Do both include a transducer?
The Striker 4 includes a dual-beam transducer. The Ultra 2 comes with a GT-56 transducer only on select bundles, so confirm the model.
Which is easier to use?
The Striker 4. Its key controls and short menus are quicker to learn. The Ultra 2 touchscreen is faster once you know the menus.
