I used it from my fishing kayak and when the fish alarm sounded I immediately cast and pulled up a crappie. It turned out the transmitters battery was dead.
At $25 per RF-45 transmitter unit, I realized it was cheaper to buy the Norcross Hawkeye F33P Fish Finder that I can use with rechargeable triple-A batteries Norcross Hawkeye F33P Fish Finder. I had a second transmitter with me (the RF-45) and that one gave me a signal, but its non-replaceable battery also died by the end of the day.
The first day I used the RF-35 unit, I was very happy with it. I made sure I was using the correct channel, the distance wasn't too far, etc.
I have used the Norcross only once so far and am happy with it. It was accurate on the depth and water temperature.
They swim in schools and I was thrilled that it worked.On my second kayak fishing outing a couple of days later, the watch receiver kept saying "no signal".
just got it and had a chance to use it its a good tool to tell you that there is fish out there but i would assume the negatives would be:1) doesnt tell you where exactly the fish is2) if its a small or a big one3) at which depth is the fish 4) some times it just wont synchronize with the watch and keeps giving you waiting for signalI would say go for a more professional one but if its just the knowledge that there is fish out there then get this one.Enjoy
exact. As to the precise opposite of my fishing club, there is a sunken buoy, I could see the buoy and compare the depth. While not in use for fishing, I wanted to understand their roles very well. Bring me the manual to go in knowing apparatus, but did not even missing.
Thanks Humminbird. This nifty little gadget won't win you the bass tournament, but for a casual fisherman, it works really well. Watch is comfortable, and so far has been pretty accurate.
My husband did say that it was amazing how well it worked for the money but that it was a little strange to look at his watch while fishing. However, it really made fishing more interesting and worked great as a "bobber" or cork. Maybe the version of this product that straps to the fishing pole might be worth considering. I bought this for my husband for his birthday and was pleased with the results. It's pretty obvious that the fish need to be very close, nearly right underneath for the sensor to pick them up.
