iBobber Castable Bluetooth Smart Fish Finder - Carp and Night Fishing

Product Information

The built-in LED beacon and the strike and fish alarms are great for ice fishing, carp and night fishing. iBobber also incorporates a vibrating fish alarm, strike alarm, battery indicator, and flashing LED beacon for night fishing.

The high contrast design and the app’s anti-glare setting increases visibility in bright outdoor lighting so you can use it whenever you want. What I also still don’t understand is how often that pattern repeats, because I did see three fish once but they never showed up again. The transducer is also incredibly easy to use—it activates immediately when you put the iBobber into the water.We recommend that the nerds among you read this comparison of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (and if you’re anything like us, we know you’re a bit nerdy). It informs you about the soil condition, water temperature, battery status as well as month and day, moon, sunrise/set, temperature, rain, wind and works as a barometer. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Now, you may be wondering, “How do I even use the sonar if I can’t access the most basic sonar features? Powering the iPhone down and up a few times seemed to clear the congestion and allow the iBobber to connect.

iBobber weather is GPS based and provides current temperature, estimated high and low temperature for the day, the percentage chance of rain, wind speed and what direction it's blowing in from, as well as the barometric pressure.

While waiting for a tarpon or two to meander by for a snack, I tossed out my iBobber (without a hook or bait) to use the sonar to map the sea floor and see if it could find some fish. Our boat was equipped with a Garmin sonar fish finder and I was happy to see that the iBobber sea floor mapping and depth corresponded to the Garmin. In the standard sonar mode, I began to wonder about the accuracy of the device when the bobber was stationery and the display kept showing alternating solid bottom, then weed covered bottoms scrolling across the screen.

It’s even got a weather report, with current, high and low temperatures, humidity, a barometer and wind speed and direction. It can cast long distances to map the bottom contours and locate schools of fish or structure, ledges and holes where the big ones lurk. Its been about a month now before I could actually try in on open water an not just a bowl of water like they show for setup.Don’t leave the bobber in the charger after charging, per the instructions, as this will discharge the battery.
