See it in action here. "Anglers have never seen live sonar images at depths like this or at this speed. Its wide sonar beam covers more of the water column at once and enables a quicker survey of the ocean floor in greater detail and can even show you where the targets are located, so it will take anglers less time to find bait, fish and structure – truly a game-changer for deep-sea sportfishing." – Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales See fish live, catch fish deep Garmin RapidReturn sets the standard for offshore live sonar – from small baitfish to target game fish – in real-time at depths up to 1,000'. With an 800-watt power output, the PS70 gives anglers stronger sonar penetration through the water and delivers four unique sonar modes that can be easily adjusted to fit a wide array of fishing techniques:
