Detect Targets Faster with MotionScope™
Command the water with confidence. The Fantom 18x features a high-speed 60 RPM rotation rate that refreshes the screen faster, ensuring you never miss a moving target. With MotionScope™, approaching targets turn red while retreating targets turn green, allowing you to instantly identify potential collision risks. Plus, the Bird Mode helps anglers find birds at the water's surface, which often indicates where the fish are biting.
