Fish-finding echo sounder FISHERMAN 160

When a person goes on a fishing trip, he has two goals: to catch fish and have fun. But quite often you can lose both of these items, especially if it is wrong to choose a place. That is why experienced anglers pre pick the place. What do you do if there is a desire to go fishing, and the time to choose the place and no dressing? In this situation, you can help a neighbor or council, or sonar.



What is a Fish Finder? This is a device which scans the water column and the ultrasonic beam allows you to see the bottom relief, the presence of fish, water temperature, and many other useful parameters of the fishermen to help in successful fishing.

There are many models of sonar, but most of them are designed to be installed on board the boat or boats. It is also important that the cost of sonar in foreign firms is quite high. Fishing from a boat, of course, has its advantages, but, first, the boat is not at all, and secondly, there are places where the boat is difficult to catch (for example, a small creek).

It is for fishermen who can not fish from a boat, the firm JJ-Connect launched to market our new portable fishfinder Fisherman 160.

The first impression you get from the sonar when they first take it in hand. Sounder is made from very high quality plastic, which is pleasant to the touch and does not slip in your hand. Large rubberized buttons designed and optimal. Sounder small and can fit in almost any jacket pocket or backpack. A large LCD screen (4.6 cm x 3.8 cm) clearly allows to consider even minor details of the bottom. So, after a visual inspection of going straight to work. Connecting the sensor to the sounder, I lowered the sensor into the pond. To scan a certain place, I had to use the sixth, which I found nearby. With it, the sensor was moved away from the coast to the required distance. After that, it's time to switch on. On pressing the Power sounder said sound signal, and then the screen went testing of the device while displaying its display capabilities. Test is over, and I got to the main screen sonar.

In the upper left corner of the display the depth of the reservoir, which can show the depth sounder as meters and in feet. On the right side of the screen is the depth scale with the ability to select the top and bottom of the scan. This allows you to select a specific area of ​​the lake between the surface. This feature also allows you to amend the measure, because the depth is measured from the sensor to the bottom, and the sensor is usually located 15-20 cm below the water level. In the sonar as a function of increasing a certain area of ​​the reservoir, which can be used to consider the details. Fish icons displayed either fish or arcs, that is, the real information from the sensor. Vodozaschischen sounder, so that it can be a little wet, not afraid to spoil the device. One beam with an angle of 45 degrees breaks the water column at 60 meters, which is more than enough for most Russian rivers and lakes. Bottom topography is shown in grayscale may be difficult at first fishermen determine the type of bottom, but, with practice, you will easily distinguish the sludge from the sand.

In conclusion I would like to add that the sounder completely Russified and runs on four AA batteries, which you can buy in any store. This fishfinder is very useful when fishing from the shore, and even when fishing from a boat, he can compete with the more expensive brethren.
