Overview

The Garmin 010-12676-60 is a portable ice-fishing live sonar kit built around the Panoptix PS22-IF transducer, giving you LiveVü Forward and LiveVü Down views so you can watch fish movement in real time. In LiveVü Forward, it can scan up to 100 ft in all directions to help you check an area before you commit to drilling your next hole.

LiveVü Down gives you a straight-under view for seeing fish reactions to your bait, which is especially useful for dialing in jigging cadence. The bracket and rotator setup is made to move with you from hole to hole, and a removable transducer lens lets you swap between wide and narrow beams depending on how broad you want to search versus how tightly you want to focus.

Everything stores in a carrying bag that is easy to handle with gloves, and the kit includes a rechargeable battery and charger for a truly portable setup away from boat power.

Installation and on-ice use

Set up is straightforward for hardwater: power your electronics from the included battery, route the cable so it will not snag, then lower the transducer into the hole with the bracket and rotator in place. The rotator makes it easy to aim the Forward view where you want to scan, then re-orient for Down view when you are working a fish directly beneath you.

The removable lens is handy when conditions change. A wider beam helps when you want a broader look around a hole, while a narrower beam is useful when you want to focus more tightly on a specific target or your bait presentation.

Who this kit suits

This setup is a good match for anglers who like to hole-hop and want immediate feedback instead of waiting on traditional scrolling sonar. It also fits well for boaters who run Garmin sonar during the season and want a portable way to keep that same live-view approach when the water freezes.

Care and storage

After a day on the ice, wipe down the transducer and cable so slush and grit do not dry onto the housing. Coil the cable with a gentle radius, keep the lens with the rest of the accessories, and store everything in the bag so it is ready for the next trip.
