Garmin Striker 7sv

Thanks for you thoughts all.
Drfishduck, when I got my 7SV I got stuck with the Clearview transducer.
I don’t like the CV ducer cause it don’t have down element.
I tried to get Garmin to trade mine for the GT ducer, but they’re not
having any of that��

I think you still got a good finder. I got mine off ebay spring 2018 for $420 including shipping.

Sickle hook - have you seen the difference between a CV and a gt? From everything I've read, on this and other sites, only a very trained/Keen eye is going to see the difference.

I haven’t documented it with photos, but have seen both ducers in action on separate 7Sv units. My opinion is the GT shows a little more detail in down mode. JMHO
Thanks

I don't have the cv, but rather a GT52HW. From the pics here and other sites, unless you are fishing pretty deep you should be covered below your boat position. Rickie posted some graphs/pictorals of how the coverage should be w/o a dedicated down element. HB cores (I think) had this for a long time. Is there any chance that your side by side comparisons were under slightly different settings or conditions? Just some thoughts. I have a spare ducer that I have toyed with selling, just never pulled the trigger. Soon as I do I'll run into a rock pile
