Garmin Livescope question.

[Fowl-Hook]

I should know better than to try to ask questions in the middle of the night. Lol

I am looking to get the 126sv finder head and the live scope plus system to be able to see the fish in real time. I forgot to say that it is the traditional transducer (GT56) that I was asking if I need for the live scope to work.

Thanks for the help and responses.

I have the 126xv and the GT56 - that will only get you traditional sonar/side/down imaging.

For FFS (forward facing sonar, not my other favorite use for that acronym), you will need a black box and a FFS transducer, like the aforementioned LVS34.

So, in summary, the screen you have now will work, but you've got some money to spend on transducers and peripheral equipment before you have LiveScope.

Once you do have LiveScope, you are then a "cheater" and no longer a "real fisherman" /s

We are all cheaters when it comes to the latest and greatest technology. It started with Treble hooks, pop gear, Down riggers, boats designed for just fishing, 100 hp 200hp 300hp is never enough, and now the latest  in Down Front and Side sonar if you don't have it yet you probably will.
