Would a old fish finder (2007) still work to todays standards?

I might be getting an old garmin 160c for super cheap, however, im not sure if it will work to todays standards of locating fish, or even being able to work. I mainly want to use it for a graph to watch my jig. All the help i could get would be great. Thanks.

If super cheap means free go for it. It probably will not be very sensitive and likely won’t see your jig.

I wouldn’t give $20 for that unit. I had a garmin 250C so I wouldn’t bet on it being very sensitive.

A guy is if he can find the transducer and power cable gonna send it to me, Hopefully no shipping but probably that and the cost of a new battery.

Now that I think about it, some of those older units will not work in cold weather due to the screen freezing. That could very well be one of them.

shoot, thats right. maybe put a hand warmer and get a soft pack to go around it or something lol

i may have a iceducer if needed… let me know and i will check for sure

I don’t have a Garmin, but use a 2005 Lowrance 102C for ice fishing. I also have a Marcum LX6 and my boys fight over who gets to use the old Lowrance. It picks up the jig as well as the Marcum and they think easier to use.
