Garmin's new Spy Pole lets you aim your LiveScope completely independent of your trolling motor. Pair it with the GT360UHD and you get full 360-degree sonar around the boat. Pick one up at Ben's Marine in Merrifield and get it installed before opener.
The price is high, but you're getting a chartplotter that will serve you for 5-10 years. When you factor in the display quality, sonar capabilities, and ability to grow your system over time, the value is there for dedicated anglers.
