Review on 🎣 Venterior VT-FF001: Portable Fish Finder for Kayak Fishing - Depth Finder with Castable Sonar Transducer and LCD Display by Jonathan Partridge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Doesn't work above 45ft

I bought this hoping to use it to check depth when fishing for lake trout. The trout in my Maine lake are 50 to 65 feet deep in the middle of summer. The sonar only works up to 45 feet and then stops working. The description says it works above 300 feet, but I couldn't get it to work past 45. Under 45 it seemed to be accurate and spot fish. It would be nice if you could fish at that depth but it doesn't suit my needs and will be returned. UPDATE: GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! They refunded my money and sent me a new one for free. Unfortunately, the new one had the same results as the first. It originally read at 65 feet (cool!). Stopped reading after a few minutes. Like the last one, it only reads up to 45 feet. So! I'll keep it and use it for shallow water fishing in my kayak I think and buy a more expensive one for my boat.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Some little things
