![]() What We Don’t LikeĪlthough it offers longer hours of use with the battery-saving Bluetooth, its effective range is less than exceptional.Īdditionally, water splashes on the device can cause signal interruptions leading to communication and connectivity problems with a paired device. What We LikeĪlthough Bluetooth has a shorter range than Wi-Fi, it uses less battery power, making the ReelSonar iBobber operational for a more extended period than the Deeper PRO+.Īnother wonderful feature of the iBobber is you can pair it with the Apple or Google watch.Īccess underwater views right on the display of your smartwatch, same as when looking through any paired smartphone or tablet, similar to the Vexilar SP100 or the JOYLOG. It also comes with a protective pouch to store it anytime the device when not in use. The ReelSonar iBobber Bluetooth Smart Castable Fish Finder comes with a mini-tripod that doubles as a USB wire organizer for its charging cable. With the scans from the ReelSonar iBobber, you can log trips based on date, time, location, water temperature, fish species, and many other factors.Īdditional features include an LED beacon, a charging status light indicator, and fish and strike alarms. The built-in GPS can also create contour maps of the waterbed and formed structures. These images allow GPS spot-tagging with the help of interactive maps. The patented sonar technology provides raw underwater views to help you tag fish by size and depth. It uses a rechargeable battery with a continuous operating duration of ten hours, sometimes more, depending on how extensive the scans need to be. The ReelSonar iBobber Bluetooth Smart Castable Fish Finder can find fish up to a depth of 135 feet. It is very similar to the Deeper PRO+, but it uses Bluetooth wireless connectivity instead of transmitting through Wi-Fi. However, the included mounting arm is too short, and we do not recommend it for use in larger boats.Īnother remarkable piece of castable sonar technology is the ReelSonar iBobber Fish Finder. The Deeper PRO+ comes with a boat mounting arm, which is excellent for switching from shoreline fishing to boat fishing. With Wi-Fi connectivity, you get real-time data and smooth scanning, even at trolling speeds. Wi-Fi is just like Bluetooth, only ten times faster, even at the far range of 100 meters. Using Wi-Fi does not mean it requires the internet to function. We like that the Deeper PRO+ uses Wi-Fi for connectivity instead of Bluetooth. ![]() The Deeper PRO+ comes with mounting bolts, a USB charging wire, and a neoprene pouch. ![]() The Deeper PRO+ uses two frequencies with different scanning angles.Ī frequency of 90 kHz that scans at 55 degrees covers broad areas, while the high frequency of 290 kHz scans at 15 degrees for more detailed scans.Īdditionally, the Deeper PRO+ scans down to a depth of 80 meters, usually 30 meters deeper than other fish finders. You can cast it out up to a distance of 100 meters or 330 feet, which is farther than any other castable fish finder. The Deeper PRO+ pioneered bathymetric map creation from a fixed spot on a shoreline. One of the best features of the Deeper PRO+ is that you can cast it out in several directions and reel it in to create detailed maps from the shore. ![]() Unlike its predecessor, the Deeper PRO, the Deeper PRO+ integrates GPS into the system so that you can map out locations and never miss them the second time around. Deeper castable sonars first hit the shelves in 2013, and they have been dominating the castable fish finder market since then.
