Lowrance® Unveils ActiveTarget® 2 XL:
The Clearest, Most Comprehensive Live Sonar Yet
Tulsa, Okla. (January 14, 2026) – Lowrance®, a world-leader in fishing electronics, today introduced ActiveTarget® 2 XL, the brand’s most advanced live sonar system to date. Featuring surface-to-surface 180-degree views, this technology delivers unmatched clarity and coverage, giving anglers a complete picture of what’s happening beneath the water in real time.
“At Lowrance, we’re committed to elevating the fishing experience through innovation, and ActiveTarget 2 XL is a perfect example of that dedication,” said Yasser Nafei, President of Electronic Solutions for Navico Group. “With the sharpest, most comprehensive live sonar on the market, anglers gain expanded views, intuitive control, and by adding two systems together**, the ability to unlock the industry’s first 360-degree live Scout view. This breakthrough technology is a powerful addition to the Ultimate Fishing System, helping anglers spend less time adjusting their transducers and more time catching.”
Building on the award-winning ActiveTarget 2 platform, the new XL transducer sets a new standard for live sonar performance. With ultra-clear resolution and a sweeping 180-degree field of vision – spanning Forward, Down, and Scout modes from a single transducer – ActiveTarget 2 XL ensures no fish or bait goes unseen. The full-screen display captures every detail, from the moment the lure drops to the strike itself, offering anglers unparalleled situational awareness and precision.
Switching views is now easier than ever. The redesigned XL transducer allows anglers to instantly toggle between Forward XL and Down XL views directly from the display, no manual adjustments required. The new bracket, compatible with both shaft and motor mounts*, enables seamless transitions into Scout Mode. Once activated, built-in reference markers guide anglers to the optimal angle for both deep and shallow water, ensuring pinpoint accuracy with every cast.
ActiveTarget 2 XL is a one-time upgrade that unlocks all sonar views from a single transducer, no additional gear needed. Anglers can simply mount the XL transducer and start fishing, using their existing ActiveTarget 2 sonar module to minimize setup and maximize time on the water.
For those seeking total situational awareness, combining two XL systems** introduces an industry-first: 360-degree Scout XL live view around the entire boat. This revolutionary capability allows anglers to identify the perfect casting spot without repositioning. Running multiple transducers also enables simultaneous viewing of Forward XL/Down XL and Scout XL views, eliminating the need to lift the trolling motor at all.
Lowrance ActiveTarget 2 XL transducer upgrade starts at $1,399 USD and is now available.
