Fishing, as a hobby, is one of the most laid-back outdoor activities available. Enjoying the breeze and serenity of one\u2019s surroundings while waiting for something to catch, are some of the joys that come with the sport. It’s why I enjoy fishing, but if you are not catching any fish then life can start to get a little frustrating.<\/p>\n

This is why fish finders have been invented to give the angler a better edge against nature. But portable casting fish finders have been slow to come to the market. It\u2019s arguably one of the things modern technology has left relatively unscathed.<\/p>\n

Deeper\u2019s Smart Sonar PRO+ and iBobber are two of the leading\u00a0castable fish finders that will<\/span> help you locate those larger elusive fish. These two products are essentially a mini castable sonar. Using it is as simple as attaching it to the end of your fishing rod, throwing it to the water, and checking the data on your smartphone or tablet.<\/p>\n

\"deeper<\/p>\n

The depth sounder sonar sends the information to your smartphone or tablet (which is available for both iOS and Android devices), where the user can track water depth, contours, fish population, and more.<\/p>\n

I tried the Smart Sonar PRO+ out of curiosity. Actually, it was a fishing Christmas gift<\/a> for myself.\u00a0 I\u2019m a fan of making informed choices, and it wouldn\u2019t hurt to improve my hobby with it. I tested it in my nearby lake on my Kayak and found that the spot that I often ignore actually has some decent logs, holes, and more importantly fish. This is now a game-changer.<\/p>\n

The product\u2019s complimentary free mobile app also allows me to see the underwater contours. It\u2019s a pretty cool experience to have\u2014which is why I wrote this in-depth review. I love new gadgets.<\/p>\n

The Deeper Smart Sonar Pro+ needs a smartphone or tablet to display the underwater picture and to change the settings. The Deeper mobile application is free for iOS and Android and is packed with features.<\/p>\n
