The Garmin FishFinder 160C is one of the most affordable and easy to use fish finders available. I am writing this review after a long flight from Nairobi to Dubai. Enjoy!
If you’re an inland boater, the Garmin 160C FishFinder is a terrific buy, offering you or the fisherman in your life clarity for a great price.
Autograin Technology
With its Autograin technology and high dynamic range, fish are not only easier to find, but can be done so at just a one-foot depth. The average fisherman, or fisherwoman, is bound to see success from the very first use of this outstanding product.
Color Screen
Pros for using the Garmin Fishfinder 160C include that it is easy to use, especially with its color screen which allows you to set it up however you like. There’s a dim option as well, so the brightness of the display is totally up to the user.
Constant Depth Readings
What is really wonderful about the Garmin 160C is the constant depth readings which can be even more valuable when you fish in particularly shallow waters. An alert sound can easily result in preventing a boat from becoming stuck and thereby ruining a fishing outing.
Affordable Rugged Fish Finder
If you prefer to fish in freshwater lakes, you will love the Garmin Fishfinder 160C. It’s a rugged, affordable fishfinder that helps pinpoint the location of nearby fish, even from the side of the boat. While the autogain function is great, you can adjust it to the setting of your choice, giving you control of how much detail you see.
