FS Garmin Livescope LVS44 - The newest Livescope 2 model

[Evan B]

Garmin LVS44, lightly used and works perfectly. I bought it to replace my LVS34, but for the way I use Livescope trolling salmon on the Columbia, I actually prefer the 34.

The 44 has a wider field of view, better resolution, more range, and doesn’t need the GLS10 black box. I think it’s probably the better tool for someone using Livescope more traditionally in lakes/warmwater fisheries, spotting fish, structure, cruising fish, etc. My use is just weirdly specific and I care more about getting a big obvious return on my flasher/lure behind the boat.

Includes transducer and cable.

Nothing wrong with it at all, just not the right fit for me.

What mounting pole do you use/recommend with it?

The one I use is one from Stratum Outdoors. Good budget option. I transom mount it with a Minn Kota transom mount bracket. I originally used a RAM ball mount system but the transom mount is 100x better.

curious what you use for a screen? One that comes with it, or separate?

I use a Garmin 943xsv. So most current model Garmin head units will work with it. But it does require a separate unit.

OK, thank you.

PNWFF supporter price of $1600 - this is my bottom dollar. $400 price hit on something I've had for a month. I haven't switched back to the LVS34 yet, used this one my past few trips and now I'm waffling on which one I want to keep. So the 34 MIGHT end up on here if this one doesn't sell soon.

Ah, just get @Billy on a payment plan for this thing and be done with it.

Great deal.

Great deal.

I thought so too.

What's funny is that I've run it multiple trips after my initial post, and it's growing on me for what I do. So if nobody bites on this, I may keep it. The hardware is just too good.

If someone wants to send reasonable offers on the LVS34, that may help me decide what I want to do
