Portable Fish Finder – Why Use One?
I have enjoyed the hobby of fishing for many years now and have seen the technology in fishing equipment go from the simple fibreglass fishing rod, single speed reels and nylon line to lightweight carbon fibre rods, magnetic controlled 3 speed reels and lines so fine yet strong enough to lift an elephant if you wanted to. Perhaps the most distinct advancement in the tackle box is the development of the portable and GPS fish finder. There are of course a whole range on the market, some with functions straight out of a bond movie. But which type is better than the other? The best portable fish finder advantages are: • Location – Obviously as the name suggests these units can be taken with you and used in an array of locations. Whether you are on holidays or just enjoying your regular weekend session, fishing from land based locations, from a boat or any other type of water craft, do not present a challenge. • Flexibility – Portable fish finders will usually have a castable transducer.
