Hello y’all, I have a question for you. So I mostly bank fish and occasionally take my kayak out. So I’ve been researching into a portable fish finder. I’ve looked at the ibobber as well as the deeper. Deeper seems like the better choice however it’s more expensive. I will admit I can be cheap but I know it’s probably better to purchase the better product for a little more money than just settling. So I’m asking has anyone tried one of these and are they worth it?

 

Can't help you on portable fish finders, but

cool user name, and welcome aboard!

I have never fished for bass my fishing days were way back in UK, beach casting and sea fishing, not as sophisticated as you fresh water guys. hehehe 

I have the HawkEye FT1PX FishTrax works well for me.

I bought Vexilar’s Sonarphone before I got hooked on kayak fishing.  It worked well marking depth and surface temperature from shore. I’s not HDI, but gets the job done nicely.  It’s well built too. I bounced mine of hard stuff a couple times
