Garmin Unveils Innovative Panoptix PS22-IF Ice Fishing Bundle for Enthusiastic Anglers
Olathe, Kansas (July 9, 2024) – Garmin (NYSE: GRMN), a leading name in marine electronics, has announced the launch of its latest product, the Panoptix PS22-IF Ice Fishing Bundle. This new bundle is designed to revolutionize ice fishing by providing anglers with a unique live sonar solution that eliminates the need for a traditional pole mount.
A Game-Changer for Ice Fishing
Garmin’s new Panoptix PS22-IF Ice Fishing Bundle is engineered to enhance the efficiency of ice fishing. The bundle includes the ECHOMAP UHD2 73sv touchscreen combo with keyed assist, which offers two types of Panoptix sonar—LiveVü Forward and LiveVü Down. These sonar modes provide real-time images of fish up to 100 feet in any direction below the ice, helping anglers determine the best spots to drill their next hole.
Dan Bartel, Garmin’s Vice President of Global Consumer Sales, emphasized the bundle’s potential to transform ice fishing: "Efficiently locating fish is key to a good day on the ice, and sometimes that means drilling and hopping holes all day. Garmin’s new PS22-IF Ice Fishing Bundle answers the call for those anglers, delivering a pole-free live sonar solution—in a lightweight portable bag—that will improve efficiency and scouting capabilities from hole to hole."
Innovative Design Tailored for Ice Fishing
The cornerstone of the Panoptix PS22-IF bundle is its innovative transducer design. The PS22-IF transducer features a new bracket and rotator system that eliminates the need for a cumbersome pole mount. This design allows for easy adjustments in depth, direction, and sonar mode, making it perfect for hole hopping. Additionally, the transducer includes a removable lens, enabling anglers to optimize their sonar settings based on the specific water conditions.
Convenience and Portability
The Panoptix PS22-IF bundle comes in a rugged, glove-friendly carrying case, making it easy to transport. The case includes a customized pocket to securely hold the PS22-IF transducer. The bundle also contains a 7Ah battery with a charger and power cable, ensuring that anglers have everything they need for a successful day on the ice.
The ECHOMAP UHD2 73sv chartplotter, included in the bundle, is preloaded with Garmin Navionics+. This feature offers detailed mapping with up to 1-foot contours on more than 23,000 U.S. lakes. Anglers also receive a one-year subscription to daily map updates, ensuring they always have the most current information. The ECHOMAP UHD2 73sv is known for its user-friendly interface, allowing anglers to customize screens to display the most critical data, such as the flasher, map, and live sonar views. Built-in Wi-Fi® connectivity enables seamless sharing of sonar, waypoints, and routes with another UHD2 unit.
Availability and Pricing
The Panoptix PS22-IF Ice Fishing Bundle is expected to be available in August, with a suggested retail price of $1,999.99. For those who already own an ECHOMAP chartplotter, Garmin offers the Panoptix PS22-IF Ice Fishing Kit (without the ECHOMAP UHD2 chartplotter) for $1,249.99.
