Top 5 wireless fish finders for fishing up to 15 thousand rubles

Modern fishing cannot be imagined without such a device as a wireless echo sounder. This device is designed to make it easier to find a good place in an unfamiliar body of water. The abundance of different models of wireless echo sounders on the market makes it difficult to choose, so we decided to collect the most popular models to help you.

The main criteria and characteristics to look out for before purchasing a wireless sounder are as follows:

1. The ability to draw the relief,
2. principle of operation,
3. signal range,
4. working hours,
5. type of food,
6. the frequency of the beam and its angle,
7. scanning depth.

All echo sounders selected for this rating are able to draw the bottom relief, since this is the main criterion and the most important function, but let's look at other features of the models.

5. Deeper PRO Wi-FI

A Lithuanian wireless echo sounder, which is a separate sensor in the form of a black plastic ball.

The Deeper PRO Wi-Fi fish finder does not have a headunit; a smartphone running IOS / Android with an installed application is used to control settings and display information. This is a significant disadvantage of the device, since it limits the operating time of the echo sounder itself, in addition, you will have to secure your smartphone with a waterproof case.

Of the advantages, 2 beams (wide and narrow) can be noted, the maximum scanning depth can reach 80 meters. The range is up to 100 meters, but depends on the Wi-Fi module. The application is constantly updated, and with the help of various settings you can choose the required level of sensitivity and color scheme.

The older PRO Plus model is equipped with mapping and GPS module, but the price increases by almost 5 thousand. The fish finder is black, but does not have illumination, for night fishing you need to purchase a luminous cover.

Pros:

• Two beams with different angle and frequency;
• Operating range up to 100 meters;
• Scanning depth up to 80 meters;
• Detailed display of the relief;
• Display of fish and depth;

The manufacturer made the sensor cover bright orange and provided a bright LED backlight for night fishing. Depth of echo sounder scanning up to 30 meters. Users mark 5 modes for displaying information and high rendering accuracy. In addition, the sounder has a flasher mode. However, at great depths, the echo sounder begins to switch between modes, which is why the image is constantly jumping.

The main disadvantage is that you still need a smartphone to use, which means limited battery life.

Pros:
