Affordable Bank Fishing Sonar? Deeper Sonar START Review 

Let me know what you guys think! Should we level up and try a higher-end model?

I was given one as a gift last year and I like it... I use it on a $5 fly fishing reel I picked up at a yard sale and then attached to a wooden dowel with a hole drilled through the tip at a 45degree that the line to feeds through... I pitch it out like a baseball and reel it in like a lure... works decent for getting a quick lay of the land and has run problem free for me.

Instead of rigging it to your rod, could you instead put it on a small hand fishing setup and just throw it out? Just an idea.

Y’all aced this review. I have one and you are exactly right. I have not used it as much later, due from exactly as you said, I didn’t want to take the extra rod. Temp would be worth the money for an upgraded model. Great little sonar, especially for a Jon boat or yak.

I always thought it was a neat concept. Nice to see one in action. Pretty sure this one is going on my list.

Excellent video. All I do is bank fish so this is very helpful.

I have the deeper pro+ and I use it to learn structure and depth. Definitely worth it if you’re a bank angler.

I've been wanting to get one of those but have been hesitant. You just made my mind up for me thanks for the review

Thanks for the review on this sonar, I will look more into this look Lagit for a budget angler

Thanks again for another review. I thought about getting one, but wanted to hear about them first.

Using a barrel swivel could eliminate the need for a second rod as long as you are aren’t using a very light stick.

I just got one. Going to take it out float tubing at perris lake this coming weekend. It connected fine on the charger. Just glad it's an Amazon product so returns are no problem if it sucks

You seemed to have gotten a unit that actually works - which has not been my experience (even when disabling mobile data, as recommended). Based on several review sites, it's hit or miss on quality and performance with some units coming apart or not connecting reliably, if at all. My Start works fine in a bucket of water, but unreliable connection at the old fishing hole.

i bought the basic one a couple years ago and wasnt impressed. it stopped working and would not connect to my phone or tablet after 6 months. Definitely would like to see a review of the newer version to see if it would be worth it

Thanks for the review, I have been looking into these.

I have one of these, but I only had it out for one day and it did fine. I need to take it out again to get more info. I could not cast it out as far as I would have liked.

Next one up attaches to kayak but get the chirp version

awesome video, guys~ sweet review and i hope yall had fun! #deepr #sonar

have a deeper + available the 2d is equal to my hummingbird 7 with boat mount , reasonable offer + shipping

I have the Chirp Pro. It works great but it's a cannonball when casting it out and scares the fish away!

My wife got me one for Christmas. I have barely used it.

I could definitely have used something like that this last weekend. I fished a man-made pond and had no idea what the depth of it was. There were a few times where I don't think it was even 3 ft deep but couldn't tell

You should see what the signal distance is. Can you cast further than it transmits?

Good for ice. Fishing also

Lews baby!!!🙌

C'mon Baxter you know I don't speak Spanish, you ate a whole roll of cheese and pooped in the refrigerator? Not even mad, I'm kinda impressed. (Anchorman)😄

😂😂😂😂I'm dieing "1.8 meters, we should change that I don't speak Spanish" 😂😂😂That's literally the funniest line I've heard.

What phone is it not connecting to? Does it give the temp of water?

It’s nice NOT being able to see the screen.

It would’ve been nice to face it where there’s no glare from the sun so we could see your faces instead of the actual phone. That’s what we were trying to review and we couldn’t see it because of the shine.

Can the Deeper make under water maps? Can I save these on my phone?

Would this work well for Ice Fishing?

Do you have to have service?

How does something like this work in slower current like a larger delta river? Wind? Anyone? Thank you.

Question, you have a Ned rig as the weight for a drop shot?! I just learned something new 🤣

I use my deeper pro+ on my kayak and for ice fishing. Pro+ will map for you

You could drag it behind an RC boat and go where ever you wanted.

I can see you and the sky in reflection

So could you see any fish?

Does it need data service? Here in canada most of the spots are off phone service, I mean GPS wise to scan a body of water?

Hey guys ...will it work if out on river with our any wifi ..just having cell service? Or do you have to have wifi for it to work? Thanks

I had one of these and I hated it, it had no range and connection issues

Did that thing is water proof and BLUETOOTH??? Explain me more clearly. Thanks

I am little confused did you throw it out the lake?

Is it good for sea kayak fishing？

Had year ago and it really bad quality. Support could not figure out what's wrong. Just would not display a wireless point to connect to. Had it exchanged 4 times after they kept failing after few uses even out of the box. Finally upgraded to higher model with no issues. Be warned.

why use a rod. just right on some braid and throw it like a baseball 😆

Oh idea about the sonar attach it to some rope so u can leave out there and let it drift

There are literally three countries in the entire world that use the imperial system..... Get with the times pilgrim

Sounds racist when u say you dont speak spanish.
