I don't fish, I Kayak. Bought it for a portable depth finder in the rivers and lakes I frequent. Works perfect for that and tells the bottom terrain.

Easy set up and directions. It is portable and water proof. I stick it on the kayak with velcro.

My son and I used this cool device on our recent fishing trip and it performed well. We spotted fish concentrations with ease in no time. This device is handy especially if you are renting a boat and have no time to waste to catch fish quickly. I love this device.

However, I would also like to see some product enhancements though.

1. Include a SAVE SETTING feature - this device does not save your settings. You have to re-set it each time you power up.

2. Include an instant fish depth numerical screen readout. The current design has graphical boxes that you have to arithmetically calculate each time it spots fishes (i.e. divide the depth by ten and multiply the shaded depth indicator box on the screen). No time for math --- only fishing!!

I bought this for my husband. We are on a tight budget and a "real" fish finder is not in it. So far we have used this with out any trouble, we haven't caught any fish, but that could be us and not the products fault. We have used it a few times, there are some design issues that I would prefer to have changed, but for the price it is great.

This is a portable fishfinder, and is good at what it does. I've used the threaded "broom handle" mount for the transducer to actually mount the transducer to the bottom of my kayak; then install/uninstall after each trip, rather than use the "float". It works great, marks groups of fish, the alarm is plainly audible, the depth seems accurate from informal and shallow water observation. The depth finder is actually the most valuable part of the tool, since it is using the depth and a chart where fish holding holes and channels can be discovered. Yes, the next step is to get a "real" fish finder, but for the money, ease of use, and portability...this unit is hard to beat.

IT WORKS OK, ALITTLE HARD TO READ THE DEPTH OF THE FISH ON THE SCALE. NICE FROM SHORE LETTING YOU KNOW IF THESE ANY FISH IN THE AREA. HAD USED IT 3 TIMES. WOULD RECOMMEND IT.

I would of given it a five star rating except for one problem. An email message to Norcross solved my problem at once. Great response time. You have to seat the plug for the sensor in hard because it is a water proof connection. I tried it out a couple days later & it worked perfect. I have another brand that is remote & it straps to your wrist, but this is far better, larger display, better graphics etc. For an low cost unit & for portability it is great. I would purchase it again.
