Garmin today introduced STRIKER Cast— a castable fishfinder that delivers sonar wirelessly to a smartphone or tablet. No boat? No problem. STRIKER Cast is a versatile sonar device that anglers can take with them wherever they go.

With STRIKER Cast, anglers can even create their own fishing maps for an even more detailed look at the area they’re fishing.
