Defender Ice combo for the WIN 👊

[@joshlivethelegacy]

That combo sure has been a workhorse for me this winter! 4:40 is the last awesome fish catch in the video! Check it out! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #Defenderice

[@iunickkp1243]

that’s a sick little unit! affordable price and the hole hopping is gonna be a breeze!🔥

[@joshlivethelegacy]

Heck yeah! When you need a break from lugging around the heavier locators, this lightweight sonar is the way to go!

[@burnsiesguideservice6682]

Looks like a great device! Nice job on the explanation! Great video!👍

[@joshlivethelegacy]

Thanks for checking it out Chad! If we ever get ice on Bago I’d love to bring it over and have you test it out!

[@MrRomanowski90]

Absolutely awesome. Great video

[@joshlivethelegacy]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@bnfishing]

Awesome video of some awesome new technology!!

[@joshlivethelegacy]

Thanks for watching!

[@OffGridWisconsin]

Definitely gonna have to pick one of these up!

[@joshlivethelegacy]

Heck yeah! Let me know if you have any questions about it! I’m already planning a follow up video to explain a little more!

[@tri_nofeet]

Great video it looks easy to use. This rig would be perfect for running and gunning. Or a good back up.

[@joshlivethelegacy]

My thoughts exactly! You can’t beat how lightweight it is!

[@lauriemcdougall8415]

I have one coming in the mail this week! I am wondering though how do you interpret those flashing lines on the screen? I couldn't figure out what one was the fish and what one was the lure. BTW great video! looks like a good fishing spot!!

[@joshlivethelegacy]

The best way to learn is to jig your lure up and down and it will show up on the screen mirroring the same motion. When you lift it up with the rod, the lure will move up. Once you understand that you will be able to tell when a fish comes in.

[@natebohach1]

How is it a year later? I am looking to slowly start building up my ice fishing set up but not the big stuff like house, auger, flasher. This would really help with the entry point if it still is worth it.

[@joshlivethelegacy]

@@natebohach1 I would say still worth it. Especially the non-gps version (the white one) which is at a lower price point. Your biggest limitation would be phone battery life. If you can’t find a way to mount your phone and keep it charged, you are golden!

[@GregBalcom]

How thick was the ice when you were fishing? Do you think 12”-15” of ice might negatively affect its performance?

[@joshlivethelegacy]

I had about 5”, I had a guy message me that told me he used it in 12” with no issues. I have yet to try it on that thick of ice personally. But I plan to do a follow up video when the ice gets thicker!

[@alexanderperry700]

have you used the "fish" function yet? just got one the other day and am playing around with it

[@joshlivethelegacy]

I have not. Are you using it for open water or for ice fishing?

[@alexanderperry700]

@@joshlivethelegacy ice right now; I was using the standard settings view like on the Striker 4, and found out there's an option to flag fish. Not sure how accurate it is, but it definitely picked up fish even when I took my jig out of the hole!

[@joshlivethelegacy]

@@alexanderperry700 I plan to play with it more in the coming weeks and out on open water. Hopefully I'll get enough content to put another video together. Thanks for watching!

[@claytonmoyer2712]

Does it have a flasher mode on it ?

[@joshlivethelegacy]

@@claytonmoyer2712 is sure does, that’s the one that is displayed in this video. Or are you wondering about 2d mode?

[@claytonmoyer2712]

@ do you know if both versions have the flasher ?

[@joshlivethelegacy]

@@claytonmoyer2712 Yes they do. It has more to do with the app than the GPS or Non-GPS unit. The Striker Cast app is what allows you to switch between flasher settings and 2d settings. Let me know if you have any other questions. I have links in this video description to pike up the units to help support the channel. Thanks for the comment!

[@claytonmoyer2712]

@@joshlivethelegacy awesome brother appreciate the help I’m ordering it now. Great videos btw

[@joshlivethelegacy]

@@claytonmoyer2712 Much appreciated! Stay tuned, more awesome things coming to the page!!

[@LureTheBass28]

Do you need wi-fi hot spot or anything like that or can you do it off line?

[@joshlivethelegacy]

You do not, I had this unit running on a cellphone that was not connected to a cellular network, or a mobile hotspot. I just downloaded that app at home while on WiFi. Then you can use the device paired via Bluetooth with zero cell service or WiFi.

[@LureTheBass28]

@@joshlivethelegacy what does it come with?

[@joshlivethelegacy]

It comes with the sonar device, charger cord, tether cord, and carry bag.

[@zbassr2106]

How bad is the latency between jigging and the screen in real time?

[@joshlivethelegacy]

Not noticeable at all. I synced up my screen record so you can see exactly what it is realtime.

[@joshlivethelegacy]

@@zbassr2106 I’ve also posted a few videos on my Instagram. Message me there and I can send you some videos. @joshlivethelegacy

[@vandry1465]

What kind of tripod phone mount are you using?

[@joshlivethelegacy]

I use the Quad Lock phone case and Quad Lock accessories. They make the tripod you see. I also have a mount in my boat, my truck and at my desk. Love them! www.quadlockcase.com/

[@travislarson847]

Yup I need one…

[@joshlivethelegacy]

Check out the links in the description! 👍

[@K3KTB]

I'd be paranoid about loosing my phone down the hole.

[@joshlivethelegacy]

Valid point! I’m going to do a follow up video to show a few more features of the unit. I will be connecting some flotation to the tether of my tripod. My quadlock phone case is locked into the tripod so it won’t fall off of that.
