The Fishfinder 100 is a full-featured 200 khz sounder with
temperature that's both waterproof and affordable. It rounds
out Garmin's complete line of sounders which includes the
Fishfinder 160 and the Fishfinder 240. Although similar in
features to both of these products, the Fishfinder 100
boasts one distinct difference: a lower price tag which
makes it the perfect entry-level Garmin sounder unit.
On the outside, the unit comes packaged in an
attractive case that measures 5" w x 4.9" h x 2.5" d. The
2.5-inch diagonal display that makes detecting fish easy on
the eyes, and it delivers the big picture thanks to a
blue/green, LCD, STN display with 160 x 100 pixels. Even
better, you don't have to worry about this unit getting
splashed as you reel in your fish because it was designed to
withstand immersion in one meter of water for up to 30
minutes.
But it's what's inside that really makes the
Fishfinder 100 so impressive. The unit comes standard with
Garmin's exclusive See-Thru® technology that allows it to hear
both weak and strong signals at the same time. A graphic
whiteline also included on the fishfinder helps present a
clear image of bottom hardness and structure. The benefit to
fishing enthusiasts is a sounder that will detect fish even
when suspended inside structure and thermoclines. What's more,
a power output of 150 watts (RMS) and 1200 watts (peak to
peak) means the Fishfinder 100 will give you an accurate
picture of what's in the water.
