Tested by IvyEverything in this shop went out on a real trip with me before it earned a listing. Wet, cold, dropped, packed out. This one passed.
A kayak, a dock rail and an ice hole share the same blind spot, which is everything below the surface. This portable fish finder reads it with 200 kHz sonar, returning depth from 3 to 328 feet and marking fish as they cross the cone.
45 degree sonar beam shows fish location and depth, plus whether the bottom under you is sand, rock or weed.
25 ft transducer cable with float and side-scan adapter lets you toss it off a dock, hang it from a kayak or drop it down an ice hole.
Three fish size icons tell you whether a mark is worth working before you spend twenty minutes on it.
Five sensitivity levels, fish alarm and battery save mode all hold their settings after you power it down.
Runs on 4 AAA batteries for 4 to 5 hours of continuous use in fresh or salt water. Batteries not included.
Hang it around your neck and spend the day fishing structure you can actually see.
