Each attachment point represents a different application of the PRO+, be it fishing from shore, dock, or boat. The PRO+ has three threaded brass receptacles for the screw-in brass connection hardware, one each at the top, a quarter of the way down the curve of the body, and again just below the equator. Night color mode: The display’s color palette has been reduced to a range of reds, going easy on the user’s night vision.Day color mode: This replaces the dark background with a high-contrast white background that looks more akin to classic fishfinder displays for use in bright sunlight.Classic color mode: This has a dark background, with multiple colors to designate different underwater debris interpreted in green to stand out separately from fish.Onshore GPS Mode: Here the PRO+ relies exclusively on its onboard GPS, instead of the angler’s presumably stationary phone, to generate map data.Boat Mode: In this mode, the PRO+ connects to the phone’s GPS system for ongoing tracking, enabling bathymetric mapping.Ice Fishing Mode – This mode has a split screen that adds a circular ice fishing flasher to the traditional 2D view.Standard Mode – This is the basic fish finder 2D display.App Modesĭeeper’s fish finder app features several sonar modes: Other fish finders in the class - Deeper’s lower models included - have relied on smartphone GPS to create maps, but built-in GPS is a first.

GPS is combined onto mapping software to create a color-coded map of the bottom with bathymetry lines. GPSĪdding a GPS receiver to the transducer pod of the PRO+ means that the transducer now captures a stream of depth readings over a range of locations.

It’s the 290 kHz band that can reach a depth of 260 feet.

Once located, the user can switch to a high powered sonar band pinging at 290 kHz over a narrow 15 degree cone. The first band pings at 90 kHz over a 55 degree sonar cone, good for scanning a large area to try to locate fish. The PRO+ features a dual-band sonar transducer. We’ve reached out to learn why, but haven’t yet heard back. Interestingly, the company recently lowered the listed maximum range from 330 feet. The connection range comes in at a healthy 260 feet. Like roughly half the offerings in the class of mobile device-connected fish finders, the PRO+ uses WiFi to connect.

The full package represents a real innovation for the portable fish finder category.

It works with iOS or Android, and its onboard GPS opens up a world of in-depth aquatic mapping with the company’s online Lakebook platform.

DEEPER SONAR PRO

The Deeper Smart Sonar PRO+ (sometimes called the PRO Plus) bucks that trend.Ī high-end fish finder transducer in a robust package that can be boat mounted or cast from a heavy rod, the PRO+ transmits wirelessly via WiFi to the highest quality display the average angler already has: a smartphone or tablet. Rarely does a piece of fishing tech meet needs across a spectrum this wide. It can mean sneaking in a couple quick casts at the HOA pond before the first games on Sunday, or hitching up the Jon boat before heading to the boat launch for an all-day outing. going fishing can mean different things to different anglers at different times. Depending on several factors - location, income, weather, day of the week, etc.
