1/29/2024 0 Comments Deeper fish finder fldp09![]() ![]() I totally trust and rely on these units throughout the entire year, so I wanted to see how accurate Deeper really was. So I put my boat in the water and compared it with my Lowrance units. I could arbitrarily cast Deeper into the water and trust its readings, but I didn’t think that would be a very worthy test. Most of the time, I could reconnect to the sonar unit manually from my phone, but there were a few instances in which I had to reel the sonar back to the dock in order to reconnect it. The readings continued to transfer to my phone without issue, but I did experience some connectivity issues anytime a stray boat wake would come near the Deeper sonar. The box states that the maximum bluetooth range is 160 feet, so I bombed that sucker approximately 100 to 120 feet from my dock. So naturally, I pushed the proverbial envelope. Now keep in mind, this happened in glass-calm waters while the receiver was stationary and no more than 15 feet from my phone. And what do you know? I caught a nice channel catfish. So I grabbed an old Zebco from the boathouse, threw some Berkley Gulp! Nightcrawlers on a rusted hook and cast my line directly next to the Deeper sonar unit. I started hearing beeps and seeing fish symbols along the 5-foot bottom. What happened next got me a little excited. How crazy is that? I had to see if it was a smart investment for fellow anglers. ![]() According to the instructions, you simply tie it on an extra fishing rod, cast it into the water and read its findings on your smartphone. Essentially, it’s a depth finder and fish finder built-in to a bobber-type design. With that being said, I’ve spent a lot of time experimenting with the Deeper Fishfinder over the past several weeks. Not everyone can afford the “latest and greatest”, so I go to great lengths to test practical equipment that can help the occasional or novice angler catch more fish. I tend to have a special affinity for products and gear that are designed with simplicity in mind. Not to mention, it’s a welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of tournament fishing and guiding. It makes me feel like a kid again and it brings me back to my “fishing roots”, I guess you could say. Although I own a bass boat, it’s not uncommon to find me sitting on the bank of a farm pond or on a dock watching a bobber during the weekends. ![]()
