Oh there's, is that some fish on the bottom there? Let's wait till it swings back. I think there's some up there. So you're looking at buying a live scope. I can tell you right now if you do buy it, you're going to love it. But I know price wise, certain things get out of range. So in this video I'm going to talk about the best live scope bundles for each price range. There's a fish right there. See if we can catch him quick. So first I want to explain that there are multiple live scope transducers. And I know, I've seen people on Facebook talk about different ones. And there's just some, there's some information out there that I just want to make sure you understand. If you're buying a live scope unit, the first generation of live scope, which is the PS22 transducer, that runs like a 450 or 470 kilohertz. It's not really live scope. It's pan optics. And it works. Don't get me wrong. I used to have it on my boat back when it came out in like 2015, 2016. And it does work really well. But it's not the clarity that you expect from a live scope. You guys see all the screen recordings. You can see it on mine. Live scope is a second generation, which is, there's two transducers. There's the LVS12 and the LVS32. The LVS12 does not have the same range in terms of what it views on the water column as the LVS32. For most people when they hear a live scope, they think of the live scope bundle, which is the LVS32 transducer and the GLS10 black box. The LVS12 is a cheaper option. I know a lot of people pointed out saying it's only six or 700 bucks. But it's not the full range of what you expect from live scope. It's probably a good option for ice fisherman. If you're looking to save some money, you put it in down view. And you're fishing directly below the hole because it's ice fishing. So that might be an option if you're specifically buying this unit for ice fishing. But if you're looking at putting on your boat like I have it up here, you're probably looking at either the LVS32 or the brand new, which is now the third generation live scope or second generation live scope, third generation pan optics, the LVS34 live scope plus. They changed up the design of it. The LVS34 is kind of a rectangle design of a transducer, whereas the LVS32 is more of a triangle. The difference between the designs actually has something to do with the clarity at a certain range. So the LVS32 is pretty good within 50 feet. But after 50 feet, you started to get some blurriness. Maybe there's some dead zones and they came out with the LVS34 to solve some of those issues. And for the most part, in my experience, I have an LVS34 on my unit. It has solved those issues. You can crank it up to 100 feet and it's pretty darn clear. If you're casting a big enough bait, there's no dead zones. And you can see fish pretty darn well up to about 120 feet. So those are kind of the three types of transducers for live scope. The LVS12, the LVS32 and the LVS34. And the reason I just want to clarify that before we start talking about bundles is so you understand the difference. If you see something on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, you're not fooled thinking that it's something else. So I'm specifically going to talk about the original live scope, the LVS32 bundle. So it's the LVS32, the GLS10 black box, and then a certain screen size. Probably the most economic version or economical version is the 73SV EchoMap UHD system. It's a seven inch screen. It's probably great for you guys that have smaller boats or kayaks or canoes or something. It's a touch screen, so it works really well. If you need to zoom in and out with a live scope. The ECMAP73SV with the live scope bundle priced in roughly about $1,700, $1,600, $1,700. So that is probably your most affordable unit. But I wouldn't consider the best bang for your buck. The best bang for your buck is the step up in the EchoMap series, the EchoMap UHD93SV screen. It's a nine inch touch screen. Probably the best seller for Garmin when it comes to the live scope bundle. You can get it just under two grand. I think it's like 1999 or something like that. And with the compatibility of touch screen with the live scope, it does come with a transducer. You can get the bundle with a transducer, like a regular side imaging transducer as well. So for under two grand, that's the best bang for your buck. I understand it's $2,000. But if you're really looking at getting into live scope and you're serious about it, that's the bundle a lot of people look at. Now, if you want something bigger, if we want to step into the 10 and 12 inch screens, there's probably two models that I would look at seriously and not try to break the bank. And those are the GPS map 1022 and 1222. You guys see a screen up here. This is actually a GPS map 1022. It's pretty good in terms of pixel quality. And it's not touch screen. It's got the little dial knob in the top right corner to kind of zoom in and out and change the depth settings and stuff like that. But I've been using the 1022 now for almost two years. It is a great unit. The 1022 bundle price is in at about $2,600. But if you're looking for a 10 inch screen, that's your best bang for your buck when it comes to a 10 inch screen. When it comes to the 12 inch screen, which is the big brother, the step up is the 1222 GPS map. It comes in at $3,300. That's getting, we're starting to get into expensive territory with a live-score bundle. But if you want the biggest screen, you could probably get that's at a reasonable price. That's a 12 inch screen. This is GPS map 1222. Now I do have to say the 1222 and the 1022, all they are is basically a mapping system. They don't have sonar. They don't have a sonar plug-in for a side imaging or down imaging transducer. But you can plug them in to other units like I have mine connected to an 8610X, XXV, and you can share live-scope. You can share your side imaging with other units, other GPS map units that do have that compatibility. So if you're worried about that of just getting a 12 inch screen, but it doesn't have your regular side view or clear view technology, as long as you have an ethernet cable to connect it to other units that do have that technology, you can just share the screen like a different monitor. And that's kind of the cool thing about this unit. It's connected to both my units of the dash here. So it can actually have that in the water and I can view the same live-scope screen at the units of the dash. It's kind of the cool thing and you can do the same if you have the echo map units. You just have to get a five port plug-in, connect some ethernet cables, and you can actually connect all the units and share the screen that way. But your 1022 and your 1222 are your lowest price 10 and 12 inch screen that Garmin offers or your live-scope bundles. Now some screen options that give a lot more pixels, they give a lot more clarity. Now we're getting in the territory of like $4 to $5,000 as a bundle. And I know most of you probably aren't going to spend that, but for those of you that are building out a boat and you're going to spend $10,000, $12,000 getting a full boat set up with electronics. The GPS map 1243, XSV is a pretty good unit pixel wise. But if you want the best of the best, the full HD screen, you're going to look at either an 8610, the 8410 or a 8412 or an 8612 GPS map units. These are full HD screens, super crisp, clear picture. I do have an 8610 and my dash, it is phenomenal side imaging or side view technology. And it works great for live-scope as well. So if you're somebody that you're going to put up the big bucks to have a really high dollar screen because you want that clarity, that crispness of an image, the 8610, 12 or the 8410, 12 GPS map units are what you're going to want to look at. The difference between the 84 series and the 86 series is it has to do with the mapping. The 86100 has better mapping. So there you go. So just a quick recap of the bundles if you're looking on the low end, that'd be the ECOMAP 73 SV or the ECOMAP 93 SV. Both of them under $2,000 packages. If you're a beginner getting into live-scope, maybe you got a smaller boat. Those are the two packages I would look at. If you're somebody that has already put garments or something on your boat or maybe you just want one garment screen for a live-scope, but you want a bigger screen, a 10 and 12 inch screen, the 1022, 1222 GPS maps. Those are like $2,600 to $3,200 packages. They come with the live-scope bundles. Those are the two screens I would look at. And if you're somebody that you got the money and you want to get the best of the best, the GPS map, 8400 or 86100 series, 8610, 8612. Those are full HD screens. The crispest image that Garmin offers. So if that's something you care about, those are the different bundles that you're looking at. And if you really want to go big, I didn't mention this in the 86100 series, but they do make an 8616, I think it's like $6,000. Ridiculously, I'm not going to drop $6,000, but maybe you might. It's a big screen, it's a full HD screen. So you can check it out. I'll link everything down below. You can check it all out. But those are the live-scope bundles, different price points. And I think most of you are probably going to be in that 7.3 SV to 93 SV price point. So check it all out, links down below.

And good luck, the rest of the fall. Catch a ton of fish.
