Looking to see what is recommended for a fish finder that i can bring on the reservoir boat and another aluminum i have off the res. 

Thanks

I and a few friends have the garmen striker 4 and i am seeing many more people online using them lots of features including waypoints speed tracking and chirp also can use different screens definitely not a wallet breaker

The Striker is an excellent fish finder for the rowboat and reservoirs.  You can also use it ice fishing.   I am fairly new to reservoir fishing.  The unit has been a huge help.

Thanks.  Ill check it out. 
One more question.  Recommended rods and reels for reservoir?  I keep changing set ups on my freshwater rods everytime i go somewhere else.  I'd like to set up some reservoir rods for fishing sawbellies.  Any size/type/make/action.  I currently just use my bass rods.

I would sat at least 8 foot for saws to keep them apart and reduce tangled lines i use noodle rods made by great bend hard to find dicks use to sell them

Okuma Celio medium/ light action with okuma 30 bait runners.  They work great for me.   I just started reservoir fishing 3 years ago.  There are a lot of great people on here that shared their knowledge with me to drastically cut the learning curve.  That’s what makes this group awesome.

For live sawbellies I like the Okuma baitfeeders, in size 20 or 30. (2000-3000) The 40(4000) is too big. If you are a light tackle freak they now make baitfeeder reels in ice fishing sizes, the Ceymar or Avenger in the 1000, on a light 7' rod, with 6lb test, would be a blast for browns! As for rods IMO there is no need to buy anything special, I use my normal everyday 6 1/2' - 7' rods. If you are keeping the rods in rod holders, make sure the rods are at least the same length as your oars and keep the rods pointing straight out off the side of the boat. This will allow clearance for you to row without the the oar catching the line constantly.

Have a Garman 4 also, (portable) descent unit and doesn't break the bank as stated. For bait fishing run 8'6" Riversider Rods with 3000 size Kast King Baitfeeder reels.

8.5' Ugly sticks with Shimano Bait runners, can't beat them.

In my opinion the Garmin Striker 4 portable unit is the best value for a reservoir fish finder. As for rods I really like the St Croix Wild River Series, I use 9’ Medium Lite for most applications & the 7’ 6” Medium action for lake trout fishing in deep water. For reels I prefer Shimano OC 4000 baitrunners. Just my opinion but I feel St Croix Rods & Shimano baitrunners are hard to beat.
