Overview
This amazing product is especially designed for
amateur and professional fishermen alike, to find
out the location of fish, depth and bottom
contour of water.
The unit can be used in ocean, river or lake and
is fantastic for detecting schools of fish in any
particular area.
Using amazing and innovative technology, this
fish finder is the ideal tool to bring the fish to
you!
How Sonar Works
Sonar technology is based on sound
waves.
The system uses sonar to locate and
define structure, bottom contour and
composition, as well depth directly
below the transducer.
The transducer sends a sound wave
signal and determines distance by
measuring the time between the
transmission of the sound wave and
when the sound wave is reflected off
an object; then it uses the reflected
signal to interpret location, size, and
composition of an object.
