For fishing beginners that are passionate about the occasional recreational fishing day, it can be somewhat hard to find the perfect fishing when going out on a family holiday, on a camping trip, or even on a weekend away from home with family and/or friends.
However, even if you're a beginner to fishing but still love the occasional recreational fishing weekend, know that there's an innovative fishing gadget out that allows you and the rest of your group to save time by quickly finding the perfect fishing spot, thus allowing everyone in the group to spend more time catching, comparing and enjoying the fishing day together.
With it, you'll never again have to go through the hassle and disappointment of trying out multiple potential fishing spots that end up turning out empty, meaning that with the Deeper START, you can ultimately spend less time looking and more time catching and relaxing.Whether you’re a dedicated weekend fishing-aficionado or you simply go for the occasional fishing afternoon, the Deeper START fishfinder is the perfect fishing gadget for recreational fishing, working right from the dock, from the shore or even from the bank.So, without any further ado, let's have a more detailed look at this awesome smart sonar fishfinder and check out exactly how it works and also see everything that it has to offer you.DESIGN & SPECSStarting with the fishfinder's size, the Deeper START comes at a fairly compact size, measuring just slightly over 2.3 inches in diameter and just 2.3 inches tall, thus fitting neatly within the palm of your hand.
What's even better is that this smart fishfinder also comes equipped with a Barrel Swivel already attached to it, which ultimately makes it very easy for you to attach it to your fishing line.Now, what really makes this smart sonar fishfinder capable of accurately determining fish location, as well as bottom structure and bottom vegetation is its Single Frequency Beam-Cone Sonar, which operates at 120 kHz and within a 40° degree reading area (meaning in a 40º cone-shaped reading area that's aimed towards the bottom of your selected fishing spot).That said, this smart sonar fishfinder requires to be set at a Minimum Depth Range of 1.6 ft. (0.5 m), and the fishfinder can ultimately be used up to a Maximum Depth Range of 165 ft. (50 m).In addition, this smart sonar fishfinder features a very nice Sonar Scan Rate, as it can emit up to 10 scans per second, which ultimately results in a high-quality reading of the bottom area of your selected fishing spot.CONNECTIVITYAs mentioned before, this smart sonar fishfinder works together with its own proprietary Smartphone App (which we'll discuss in detail further ahead), which is where users will be able to see the sonar's determined fish locations, as well as all of its detected bottom structures and bottom vegetation.On that note, keep in mind that this smart fishfinder works via a wireless Wi-Fi connectivity (supporting some of the most common Wireless Standards - 802.11 b/g) and operating at a Frequency Band 2.412GHz, featuring a Maximum Transmission Power (TX Power) of +20dBm with a Transmission Sensitivity of -91dBm (when used with a 802.11 b Wi-Fi Connection), or alternatively, featuring a Maximum Transmission Power (TX Power) of ++17dBm with a Transmission Sensitivity of -75dBm (when used with a 802.11 g Wi-Fi Connection).As mentioned before, this smart sonar fishfinder requires can be set up at a Maximum Depth Range of 165 ft. (50 m), but its Connection Range is somewhat dependent on what Smartphone model your using as well as on what OS version your Smartphone is currently running on.
So keep those two things in mind.BATTERY & BATTERY LIFENow, since this smart fishfinder features a wireless operation, it also comes equipped with a built-in 850mAh Lithium Polymer rechargeable battery that can ultimately offer you up to 6 hours of battery life, which is a lot for a device like this, if you think about it, as fishing for 6 hours in a row is quite a long time.
So, on that note, this is a great feature to see here, in my personal opinion.What's even better is that recharging the unit's internal battery is also a fairly easy task, as the Deeper START Smart Sonar Fishfinder also comes equipped with a built-in Magnetic USB Charging port that can be very easily connected to the unit's included Magnetic USB Charging Cable.
