Clarity. Control. Confidence.
The Garmin Spy Pole 42 inch Motorized Pole Mount gives anglers a powerful way to control their forward facing and scanning sonar without constantly repositioning the boat. Designed to hold Garmin LiveScope and GT360UHD transducers, this motorized pole allows you to precisely aim your sonar anywhere around the boat with wireless controls. For anglers who rely on real time sonar to locate bass, crappie, or other structure oriented fish, the Spy Pole makes it much easier to scan water, track fish, and stay focused on casting instead of adjusting equipment.
One of the biggest advantages of the Spy Pole 42 inch model is the ability to independently control your sonar without moving the trolling motor. Anglers can operate the system with the included wireless remote or the low profile foot control. The remote can be mounted to a fishing rod or used in your hand, allowing you to turn the pole with a simple twist of the wrist. The foot control keeps both hands free for fishing while you adjust the sonar direction with your foot. This setup is especially useful when working brush piles, docks, or schools of fish where precise sonar direction makes a big difference.
Garmin designed the Spy Pole to work seamlessly with compatible Garmin chartplotters and Force or Force Pro trolling motors. Through the chartplotter, anglers can configure sonar modes and control pole positioning directly from the screen. The system also supports SpyLink control mode which synchronizes the pole with the direction and speed of a Force trolling motor. When the trolling motor is in anchor lock, anglers can use the Force pedal to steer the sonar independently while the boat stays locked in place.
The Spy Pole also introduces several smart sonar control modes that simplify how anglers search and target fish. SpyLock technology allows you to lock your LiveScope sonar onto a specific piece of structure such as a brush pile, rock pile, or waypoint. SpyScan mode automatically sweeps the pole back and forth to search for fish across a wide area without constant manual adjustments. These features allow anglers to spend less time adjusting sonar and more time interpreting what they see on the screen and making the right cast.
At 42 inches, this version of the Garmin Spy Pole is well suited for freshwater fishing boats where a slightly shorter pole offers easier handling and cleaner mounting options. It can be mounted to a Garmin Force trolling motor or installed directly on the boat deck using the available mounting system. A quick release mechanism allows for smooth removal when needed. Built to support both LiveScope and GT360UHD transducers, the Spy Pole 42 inch system gives anglers a highly controllable sonar platform that helps reveal more of the underwater world and ultimately puts more fish in the boat.
