Garmin Panoptix Ice Bundle


Adam NWI

Recommended Posts

I found a good deal on the Garmin panoptix ice unit on one of the facebook sites and made an impulse buy.  It was a couple hours away from me, so I had my buddy check it out and pick it up and so I haven't even had a chance to see it yet.  From the youtube videos I've seen they look like they could completely change how I fish year round.  Has anyone had a chance to use one and how do they like it? 

I probably should have asked this question before I pulled the trigger!

I don't even want to know what the cost per pound of the fish that I've caught is, but the fish house had way more of an effect on it that than the Garmin.  Since fishing is my only hobby I justify it that way, and more importantly, I don't tell my wife what everything actually costs!

If you really only fished for food your a fool IMO buying it in a store is way more cost effective.

You do realize an entire meal of panfish can be caught with a free worm on a 10 cent hook using a $1.00 jigglestick in a hole drilled with a rusty handed down hand auger using no electronics, right?

Geez, if a guy has the money and wants to spend a exorbitant amount on some fishing equipment. And he gets it past his wife!

Stop puzzy whipping him! :/

True. that's best kept as quiet as possible.

wifey would not like a buncha worms in the fridge all winter. happy wife, happy life. :) 

You guys sure are poor at solving problems......no wonder you have to buy $2,000 sonars to catch a fish :D

Two words.........garage fridge........;) I can keep beer, booze, worms, minnows, a secret stash of beef sticks and pickled eggs or whatever I want in there without disturbing the Mrs.

LOL, now you're changing the context. I never said I could catch fish faster that way, I was merely replying to the fact that I was called a fool for fishing for food.
