Thread: Rees: panoptix vs 360

Really missing my 360 but weighing the panoptic also. The 360 is scanning a circle always. The Garmin is scanning where it's pointed which means you will not see as many schools of fish with the Garmin. while trolling in my opinion. What's your thoughts?

well that depends on how good of a fisherman the German is !!!! sorry couldn't resist the Garmin panoptics will show more then you think , it will keep on schooling fish !!!

How wide is beam on it.

Panoptix (bow versions) is a targeting tool by sharing functionality with TM steering control ...

360 is a searching tool with some targeting capability with no physical user input ...

Hitler was a crappie fishermen ??????

The Panoptix can go as wide as 40 degrees with the right transducer and this fits what I was doing anyway. I always ran my 360 at about 45 degrees aiming forward anyway. The fact that you see depth as well is big and you can see you rigs or jigs pretty easy with it too, this happened with the 360 but not often, water conditions played a big part in that. I'm torn as to whether I want a transom mount or a trolling motor mount, leaning toward the transom at this point.

I am having a Garmin 92sv Echomap plus and Panoptix 22 tr this week. I can not wait until I can get on Grenada Lake and see how it will work on those three pound crappie.

Will the transom mount panoptix shoot forward ?
