Had a Garmin GPS back in the day. When I heard about Panoptix I started my research. In my opinion, Garmin product listings online are by far the most complicated to shop/review. Garmin, I like the sound of what other customers say about your products, but I feel like I need a consultant to help me decide the model to fit my needs/budget. I’ve owned marcum, vexilar, humminbird, and Lowrance. It was fairly simple to decide a product of theirs to fit my needs.

Garmin Marketing team, please simplify the online customer shopping experience (maybe that should be directed to the sales team as well). A quick bullet with differentiators of each model would be most helpful. Danny Thompson, any feedback to help your buyers? Thanks.

Thanks guys for all the feedback. I guess I haven’t thought about trying the shallower flats. This lake is about as sandy as they come. You really only find good weeds on the break lines in 9-18 fow, and once the lake freezes these weeds are laying on the bottom. If you move into 8ft and shallower you find a clean sandy bottom, around the entire lake. I’ll give the shallow stuff a shot though, and I’ll try again out near the deep area that transitions from 30-50 ft, near that 65 ft hole. “When” I find them this winter I will definitely post the results on this page. My motive behind all of this is to have that secret panfish spot on a lake where everyone targets walleyes. If my dream comes true I think I’ll have to spray paint my portable in all white. Thanks again!
