Garmin Spy Pole Motorized Pole Mount (Pre-Order)

The Garmin Spy Pole is a revolutionary motorized pole mount that gives you full wireless control of your LiveScope and GT360UHD transducers — completely independent of your trolling motor. Initiate 360-degree scans, lock onto brush piles and rock structure with SpyLock point locking technology, automate sweeping searches with SpyScan search mode, and synchronize with your Force Pro trolling motor speed and direction through SpyLink control mode. This is the most advanced sonar control system ever built for bass fishing.

Three wireless control options come included: a low-profile foot control with programmable buttons keeps your hands free to fish, a rod-mountable gesture remote lets you steer with a simple twist of the wrist, and full chartplotter integration puts Spy Pole control directly on your compatible Garmin display. Mount to your Garmin Force or Force Pro trolling motor with the included mounting plate, or directly to your boat deck with the optional gunnel mount system.

Available in two shaft lengths: 42 inches optimized for 50-inch Force/Force Pro motors ($1,999.99), and 49 inches optimized for 57-inch Force/Force Pro motors ($2,199.99). Supports LiveScope transducers (LVS32, LVS34, LVS62) and the new GT360UHD 360-degree transducer. Internal cable routing through the shaft keeps your setup clean and protected. Adjustable shaft depth, electric steering, quick-release mounting, and IPX7 waterproof rating. 10-45V input, 18W typical / 70W max power draw. 3-year warranty with limited lifetime on shaft.

Compatible chartplotters include ECHOMAP Ultra 2 (10", 12", 16"), ECHOMAP Touch UHD2 SV (6", 7", 9"), GPSMAP 9000xsv series, and GPSMAP 1243xsv/1223xsv. Configure and update through the free Garmin ActiveCaptain app.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the LiveScope Plus LVS34 and the GT360UHD?
A: They are two different transducers that do different things and work best together on the Spy Pole. The LiveScope Plus LVS34 is a real-time live sonar — it shows you a live video-like feed of fish and structure up to 200 feet in Forward or Down mode. You see fish moving, your bait dropping, and strikes happening in real time. The GT360UHD is a 360-degree scanning sonar — it captures a bird's-eye view of everything around your boat in OneVu 2D and 3D imagery, covering up to a football-field size area that stays geo-locked to position as you move. Think of LiveScope as your live camera and GT360UHD as your underwater map. Mount both on the Spy Pole to layer LiveScope over the GT360UHD imagery for the ultimate combined 3D view.

Q: What transducers does the Spy Pole support?
A: LiveScope LVS32, LVS34, and LVS62 transducers, plus the new GT360UHD 360-degree transducer. You can run one transducer with internal cable routing. Running two transducers requires the Dogbone Stabilizer accessory ($199.99).

Q: What trolling motors is the Spy Pole compatible with?
A: Garmin Force and Force Pro trolling motors. The 42-inch shaft is optimized for 50-inch motors, the 49-inch shaft for 57-inch motors. SpyLink control mode syncs Spy Pole direction with Force Pro speed and heading — and works even when the trolling motor is in anchor lock.

Q: Can I mount the Spy Pole without a trolling motor?
A: Yes. The optional Gunnel Mount System ($499.99, sold separately) mounts directly to your boat deck with a swivel that moves Spy Pole in and out of the water. The flush-mount base plate maintains a low profile above deck.

Q: How do I control the Spy Pole?
A: Three wireless control options are included at no extra cost: a low-profile foot control (IPX7, 2 AA batteries, lasts a full season), a rod-mountable gesture remote (swing and twist steering, CR2032 battery included), and on-screen chartplotter control through your compatible Garmin display. The system supports up to 5 gesture remotes simultaneously.

Q: What is SpyLock, SpyScan, and SpyLink?
A: SpyLock locks your LiveScope sonar on any fixed point of interest such as a brush pile, rock pile, or waypoint. SpyScan automatically sweeps Spy Pole back and forth to search for fish and structure. SpyLink synchronizes Spy Pole with the speed and direction of your Force Pro trolling motor for hands-free sonar control while stalking fish.

Q: What chartplotters work with the Spy Pole?
A: ECHOMAP Ultra 2 series (10", 12", 16"), ECHOMAP Touch UHD2 SV series (6", 7", 9"), GPSMAP 9000xsv series, and GPSMAP 1243xsv/1223xsv. Software update through ActiveCaptain may be required.

Q: What is the power requirement?
A: 10-45V input with 18W typical draw (70W max). 8-amp fuse. Wired 2-meter (6.6 ft) power cable included. Standard 12V or 24V boat electrical systems work.

Q: Is the Spy Pole waterproof?
A: All components above water are rated IPX7. The foot control and gesture remote are also IPX7 waterproof. The gesture remote floats when used in handheld mode with the lanyard.

Q: When does the Spy Pole ship?
A: Available April 2026. Pre-order now to reserve yours. Available on garmin.com starting March 13, 2026.

Q: What is the difference between the Spy Pole and the Humminbird MEGA Live TargetLock?
A: The Spy Pole is Garmin's motorized sonar control system that works with LiveScope and the new GT360UHD 360-degree transducer. It offers SpyLock point locking, SpyScan auto sweep, SpyLink trolling motor sync, and supports multiple wireless control methods. It is designed exclusively for the Garmin marine ecosystem.
