Comments about Garmin Garmin 160C FishFinder Color Fishfinder w/ Transom Mount Transducer:

Very useful for me. I fish a trout lake with predominately soft bottom. Being able to pinpoint the hard spots(Spring holes)in the bottom is essential to sucess. once the lake starts to warm up,the trout concentrate in the colder spots. garmins White Line feature works very well.

Comments about Garmin Garmin 160C FishFinder Color Fishfinder w/ Transom Mount Transducer:

I had a 145 and wanted a color fish finder that would fit into the same opening so I purchased the 160C. I have found both to work to my expectations and provide the information I need. The color monitor is a nice addition to the 145
