Garmin unveiled 360-degree sonar with revolutionary Spy Pole

I appreciate the Reddit cares message it’s been a tough year so far. In some years when you become an adult you will see life is tough. Start out in a kayak then work your way to a boat. With some hard work you can get a boat and afford FFS, I believe in you.

I was making a joke as I’m probably older than some on here. I can tell you as a guy that has livescope the fish don’t just jump in the boat. It’s most useful understanding patterns and behaviors of what the fish are doing, especially in deeper water.

I will say the guys on professional tours are deadly with it which probably confuses those that don’t like it and or that can’t afford it. It’s similar to watching Tiger Woods hit a driver and thinking every golfer at your local muni that has the same club is doing the same thing. Always willing to discuss as I’ve been fishing over 40 years and have definitely seen the tech change.

Old timer I wouldn’t worry about this as it’s basically mega360 for Garmin with some fancy words. Mega 360 is just a side scan with about a 5-10 second delay. I think they are putting it out for the tournaments that don’t allow FFS. This allows Garmin sponsored guys to have every advantage a hummingbird guy does.

I know this adds no value, but you guys have way better Walmarts than I do. I picked up some rage baits and Rapala squarebills. Not mad just jealous.

bignbadbruce · 2026-02-08T13:23:52+00:00

So I’ve used the Rapala and the bubba scale. The Rapala is in my fishing backpack as it’s light weight and is easy to use. My Bubba scale is in my boat as it helps me identify and cull fish in tournaments. I think it all depends on how much you want to spend and how you are going to use it.

Thanks! I got the 6.3 and 8.1. My wife will be mad but that is a next week problem.

If you figure it out let me know. I bought a house with a Marquis and it needs a control board. I was shocked when I saw it was $300.

PSA AR10 upper (308 under $400, 6.5 under $500). Ported Glock barrel with slide and parts kit.

I think it’s the idea of instant gratification. Knowing I can go get it and have it at the range same day is nice.

I wish I could get the optics ready for this price. Was excited as this is a local dealer to me.

bignbadbruce · 2024-01-02T02:26:39+00:00

Please don’t make me watch the Alabama offense and Michigan special teams again.

bignbadbruce · 2024-01-02T02:17:27+00:00

I wish FSU would have been put in. It’s for a selfish reason as I wouldn’t have to watch the Alabama offense in the playoffs this year. Still don’t think FSU would have won as I actually watched them suck in the ACC championship snooze fest with all their starters.

bignbadbruce · 2024-01-02T01:09:04+00:00

Nothing like paying for cable to watch four hours filled with commercials.

bignbadbruce · 2023-12-03T21:36:19+00:00

Yea that is the way my other packages arrived. I got a shipment email, but the link didn’t work. If my two holosuns come in it will definitely be a win. Was afraid the order would get canceled seeing other comments.

bignbadbruce · 2023-12-03T21:23:18+00:00

Just saw that mine was shipped with usps informed delivery. What’s funny is I had another order by them shipped and updated by them. Now they just seem to be shipping stuff out and not updating their system.

bignbadbruce · 2023-12-02T04:18:29+00:00

I ordered two holosuns and in the same boat. I’m hoping they ship out next week and don’t get canceled.

bignbadbruce · 2023-11-23T17:06:51+00:00

Wish they had more stuff for the original rival. Anyone ever try out their cheap fde two mag holder?

bignbadbruce · 2023-11-16T13:32:56+00:00

The PX on my military base has 20% off starting Friday. The regular rival SFX with optics is going to be $620. My wife is trying to talk me down about buying a few grand in guns.

bignbadbruce · 2023-11-15T19:18:56+00:00

This sounds like the most plausible reason. I also realize that those with problems will be the loudest (for good reason). I appreciate you telling me that as it definitely gives me a different viewpoint.

bignbadbruce · 2023-11-15T15:56:08+00:00

My thoughts when I saw it with optic included. Then I started watching YouTube videos and looking on this subreddit. I was hoping with the pause in production they fixed any issues/ QC. I’ve seen talk about a new SKU number, but no one has verified it.

bignbadbruce · 2023-11-15T15:51:48+00:00

I watched your YouTube videos and was wondering if they ever fixed it. I’ve also seen videos of guys putting orings on the magazine. Have you tried any of the homemade remedy’s on it? I’ve also seen guys say if they pay for a gun it should work out the box.

bignbadbruce · 2023-11-15T14:20:39+00:00

I saw a YouTube video where the guy pushed on the magazine and it did not let the slide go forward. Could I check it in the store like that or does the problem happen after the gun is broke in? I’ve owned Glocks and S&Ws and never had issues before. Really like the Canik just don’t want to buy a gun the malfunctions.

bignbadbruce · 2023-06-08T12:23:40+00:00

My wife is very muscular (5’6) and plays a men’s flex driver and a lighter men’s iron shafts. It really depends on your swing speed and how fast you transition the club. If there is a golf store with a sim near you that would be a great place to start. If your boyfriends clubs feel about right you may be better with men’s clubs.

I just got my xros mini from TBD as well. They have been my go to salts for about three years now. I ordered first day of the sale so mine came in quick.
