Description
❄️ The pole-free portable ice fishing sonar that lets you hop holes faster — Garmin's Panoptix PS22-IF transducer pairs with a 7" ECHOMAP UHD2 75sv touchscreen for live LiveVü Forward and Down sonar without the fuss of a traditional pole mount.
The Garmin Panoptix PS22-IF Ice Fishing Bundle (010-02686-30) is built for the angler who values speed and portability over extreme range. The Panoptix PS22-IF transducer uses an integrated rotation system that mounts directly into your hole — no separate transducer pole to set up, transport, or store. Drop it down, rotate it to scan, hop to the next hole, and repeat. The whole rig packs into one rugged glove-friendly carrying case.

Why Pole-Free Matters for Ice Anglers
Traditional ice fishing sonar requires a separate transducer pole that you set up at each hole, deal with cables, and break down before moving. With the PS22-IF, the transducer drops directly into your fishing hole and you control direction with the integrated rotator. Move to the next hole? Pull it up, walk over, drop it in the next hole. Net time savings between holes: 30-60 seconds. Over a full day of hole-hopping, that's a lot more lines in the water.
LiveVü Forward + Down Sonar Modes
- ✅ LiveVü Forward — scan up to 90m (~295 ft) horizontally around your hole. Locate schools of fish before drilling more holes.
- ✅ LiveVü Down — direct overhead view straight down. Watch fish respond to your jig in real time.
- ✅ Removable lens — narrow 12° beam for focused targeting, wide 57° beam for broader area scanning

Panoptix PS22-IF vs. LiveScope Plus Ice Bundle
The Panoptix PS22-IF (this bundle, $1,999.99) uses LiveVü technology — Forward and Down modes, simpler 2D-style imaging, ultra-portable, pole-free design. Best for hole-hopping anglers, casual ice fishing, and anyone who prioritizes setup speed.
The LiveScope Plus Ice Bundle ($3,299.99) uses LiveScope LVS34-IF technology — sharper imaging with target separation, AHRS stabilization, includes 16.5Ah lithium battery, 9" display. Best for serious tournament ice anglers who want the most detailed real-time imaging available.
Summer Use Too
Note that the ECHOMAP UHD2 75sv chartplotter is a fully-featured open-water chartplotter as well. When ice season ends, you can pair it with a transom-mount transducer (sold separately) and use it as your primary boat fish finder all summer. The Panoptix PS22-IF transducer is ice-specific and won't be used in open water.
Warranty
1-year limited manufacturer warranty from Garmin. Backed by CSO's expert product support. 0% financing available — no credit needed on qualifying purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why pole-free?
Traditional ice fishing sonar requires a separate transducer pole that you set up at each hole — assemble the pole, hang the transducer, deal with cables, then break it all down to move. The Panoptix PS22-IF transducer is designed to drop directly into your fishing hole with an integrated rotator that controls direction. Move to the next hole? Pull it up, walk over, drop it in. Saves 30-60 seconds per hole — adds up to a lot more fishing time over a full day of hole-hopping.
Panoptix PS22-IF vs. LiveScope Plus — which should I buy?
Panoptix PS22-IF (this bundle, $1,999.99): Simpler LiveVü technology, ultra-portable, pole-free, faster between holes, 7" display. Best for hole-hopping anglers and casual ice fishing. LiveScope Plus Lithium Bundle ($3,299.99): Sharper LVS34 imaging with 35% better target separation, AHRS stabilization, 9" display, lithium battery for longer runtime. Best for serious tournament ice anglers who want the most detail. If you're new to live ice sonar and want maximum portability, the PS22-IF wins. If you want the absolute best image quality on the ice, go LiveScope Plus.
What's the removable lens for?
The PS22-IF transducer has an interchangeable lens that controls beam angle. With the lens installed: 12° narrow beam (focused on a specific spot, more detail). Without the lens: 57° wide beam (broader area scan). Switch lenses based on whether you want to lock onto a specific area or scan a wider region. Takes seconds to swap.
Will the chartplotter work in summer too?
Yes — the ECHOMAP UHD2 75sv is a fully-featured open-water chartplotter. When ice season ends, you can pair it with a transom-mount transducer (sold separately) and use it as your primary boat fish finder all summer. The Panoptix PS22-IF transducer itself is ice-specific and won't be used in open water.
How long does the battery last?
Varies with use, typically 6-8+ hours of active sonar use per charge with the included rechargeable battery. Bring a spare battery for all-day ice fishing trips, or upgrade to a larger lithium battery if you fish long hours regularly. The included battery and charger handle most full days.
Does this come with maps for U.S. lakes?
This specific SKU (010-02686-30) ships with Garmin Navionics+ Canada Inland & Coastal mapping for 20,000+ Canadian lakes. There is also a U.S. Inland version (010-02684-30) of the same hardware bundle that ships with U.S. lake mapping for 23,000+ U.S. lakes. If you need U.S. mapping and CSO has the Canadian version in stock, you can purchase a separate Garmin Navionics+ U.S. Inland subscription to download U.S. maps to the chartplotter.
