Need to know where to cast your line?

My daughter loves this item and it's my first time fishing. We love spying on the content and depth of the lakes around us. Works very well.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Everything great

The best thing to have before you go fishing.

Excellent choice for small boat fishing. The best choice for this money. This little fish finder has helped me catch more fish than I can imagine. I like it very much

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Almost never

Excellent product two complaints

Actually I only see two negatives. First, there is no water temp gauge, and second, it sometimes mixes thick seaweed with fish. But I think these are small things.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Some minor things

Not working as advertised

Had good expectations based on other reviews. When the package arrived it was clear that it had already been opened. The box fell apart, I decided to try anyway. Went fishing last weekend, tried to use the device but it didn't work. At first I thought it was the batteries, but after changing the batteries the device stopped reading when submerged in water.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Nothing here

Worked well for 2 months, then died

The device did what it was supposed to. It took some getting used to, but it worked. It eats up the batteries fairly quickly, less so if you turn off the sound and backlight, but the medicine consists of just a few spares. My complaint is that after 2 months he died. The instructions also said it was sensitive to cold, but why list it as an ice fishing feature when you can use it in the cold?

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • I will add later

What do you think compared to the best Garmin (honest review)

We drilled two holes side-by-side in the ice to compare the Garmin ($3,000) versus the Ricanks handheld ($40) for depth and fish-detection accuracy. Well, compared to the top of the Garmin range, the reading depth was 100% accurate. The only thing, and of course Garmin, you could see the fish taking your bait and the Ricank finder doesn't claim it. While ice fishing, it didn't detect any fish lurking on the bottom that could be seen on Garmin, but as soon as the fish approached our lure at 6 to

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive

Buy it! Do not look back!

I am writing on my boat and am actually fishing as I write this review. This is really so much fun! This thing works like a happy cricket! I have been fishing here for several months and caught more today than I have all year. It works great as a bait (shows small fish) and then the medium sized indicator represents medium sized cats, large sand bass, large crappies. Big Fish Indicator - 15lb+. Don't use it in the pool for validation. TBH This is stupid. In fact, this is a clicker that measures

Pros
  • Excellent Overall
Cons
  • Doubtful
