Humminbird SmartCast RF45 Advance Remote Sonar Sensor Very pleased.


Great for the boatless!!, (What's this?) Great for the shore fisherman!! Affordable to. Those that don't own a boat or just prefer shore fishing. Put her on a spare rod with some good line and hunt while you fish. It has an extra hole where you can rig it like a bobber if yer willing to risk it (against bigger fish), don't think I goin to risk that though.
Humminbird RSS, (What's this?) This is a great tool to add to your tackle-box, especially for a new lake. I don't use the Piranha system. I use my Matrix 37 from my boat. I bought the RSS receiver an additional power-cord, and a mount for the unit. I then purchased a plastic rolling tool box, put the 12 volt battery in the bottom of the tool box, ran the powercord up through the tool box up to the mount.
good product, (What's this?) Hard to figure out, even harder to set the little sonar device. But once it's figured out, it's ok. Not spectacular, but a good toy to have when you just want to screw around with something.
It works, (What's this?) I waited awhile to write this so that I would know where it worked and where it did not. Simply it works, just has no distance for the radio transmitter, you could never use it at the end of a fishing line like it says more than 10 feet away from the receiver and it loses its connection, so I am using it on my little pontoon boat and it works well for that and its compact enough to still have room to carry your tackle box.
Caught 28" walleye first day with the Humminbird SmartCast, (What's this?) Great for canoe use. Good depth and temperature indicator. Tells you that fish are in the area but not their depth or size.
best ting ever!, soooooooo good works good in spy pond and sea!!!now all i need is a small screen that tells where your humming bird and the fish are...
disappointed, (What's this?) bought this for my son's Master's Graduation the end of August--he tried it on the lake in back of his house. it only worked within 10' of the shore and boat.
Very pleased., (What's this?) It was a birthday gift to my friend. He loves it. He likes everything, the receiver with a display attaches to a pole is very sturdy. And the main thing IT SHOWS FISH. Even if you can't catch it at least you know you at the right spot and can try different things to fool fish.
Great product for those without a boat, (What's this?) I bought the version that has the seperate monitor, since I wanted the ability to see how far down the fish are as well.

Since I've had this product I have used it everywhere I could go. It definitely works great at showing depths. The layout on the screen matches what I encounter when I drag a bottom rig. I used this at the Bay, the Reservoir, and a pond... and each time, I set my rigs for the depth the monitor recommended, and BAM. Caught fish. ALOT MORE than normal. In the past week I picked up a 19" Striper and an 11" Yellow Perch in the Bay, and a 27" Catfish in the Reservoir.
It also alerted me to the fact that another local pond had no real fish in it. A fact confirmed by other frustrated fishermen that were packing it up. Saved me a great headache, and turned my day from boring to productive.

2 downsides...
#1 - If you pull this too fast, you do lose signal, so give yourself time to get used to the speed.
#2 - it gets confused with waves. Whenever a speedboat roared by in the Bay, the scanner thought the water went from 12' deep to 23' deep. It corrects itself quickly tho.
More than expected, (What's this?) I was concerned about this product based on some of the reviews however, after the using the RF15 it has been great. I have been using it in a small pond I fish when there is not time to go to the big lake. The depth and contour is nothing like what I thought.It even reads well in 3 to 4 foot of water. The device has helped me catch more fish. I believe most of the negative reviews are from user error. The transducer turns on and off by being wet. This makes me think that a lot of the battery issues have been from incorrect storage of the product. The only reason I can not give it a 5 is the battery design. I wish there was a way to replace battery without buying the complete transducer although $25 is not that bad.

    GSI Super Quality All-In-One Hunting Handheld Monitor - Measures Sun, Moon, Tide, Altitude, Barometer, Temperature And Humidity We returned it.


    Useful, This product is priced fairly for the many functions it contains. I wish it had a built in compass to aid on camping trips, but other than that, I'v been happy with it. Not completely accurate when it comes to the weather forecast, but when is weather completely predictable, NEVER! It has been useful in planning the days events, and think it's a good product.
    practical use, This is a nifty idea. Viewed it online and thought i would give it a go. It is a cool device, nice for camping/hikes.It has a pretty nice feel to it, like it should last a while. think it is a good product.
    Cool Tool, I purchased this little gadget for the temperature and barometer features it had. Those both work good. Found that it's been a cool gadget to keep in my tackle box, and the other functions like the alarm, and stopwatch are also useful so I don't sit in one place to long. A handy tool to have.
    Don't Waste Your Money, (What's this?) I bought this unit thinking it would be perfect for my adventures. I was terribly wrong. It was complicated to program and worked sporadically after that. I am disappointed that I wasted the money to purchase this.
    imaginative, I was optimistic and purchased the product thinking it would be a realistic way to track weather and climate changes at different altitudes rock climbing.
    The device is capable of predicting weather change and dedicated to serving the user.
    I can fly through the programs and expect nothing but great results. I feel safe and secure having this by my side, it's a great solution for my need.
    We returned it., (What's this?) I wanted this mainly for the altitude feature, with the compass feature second. Couldn't get a good reading with either feature. Sent it back in frustration. As usual, Amazon refunded the cost.
    monitor, i like this monitor is easily programmed and holds settings while on the move.
    Its a great tool to teach the relationship of the position of the sun and moon in reference to the time of day or night.
    I take the monitor on camping trips with my nephews and found it to be very instructional. I can show them how altitude changes temperature and when to seek shelter from a cloud burst!
    The monitor is very practical and helpful tool.
    neat product, Neat product, all functions and features work as described. Easy to use, after using a little while, it has so many functions for a small device. loud alarm, nice to have when camping. Nice product, great price. I recommend it.
    with better instructions I would have loved it, I thought this would be pretty fun to have camping and hiking. Things I like are:
    The size, alarm, the weather readings, price, and how light it is.

    Things I didn't like are: The instructions. In total, i'm not disappointed with this for casual hiking/camping weekend use.
    GET MORE BUCKS, I a bow hunter, primarily deer, and am always trying to stay ahead of the game. I thought this gadget might help do that. The thermometer and barometric weather forecast features work well in the field. And I like that I tell what the humidity levels are, helps track movement patterns. A neat little gadget for 40 bucks.

    Humminbird MHX XMK Kayak Transducer Mounting Kit Makes it very simple


    Great Product Costly for UK, (What's this?) This a great accessory for fitting the transducer of humminbird fish finder inside kayak hulls. Whilst my sit on top has a customised scupper hole to accomodate transducer there are varying issues around using this, The MHX XMK is the best commercial alternative that I could find and does the job really well. I cannot fault the product in terms of quality and its fitness for purpose.

    The cost to obtain in UK is extortionate as there are no UK supply points that I could find, so carriage from US was necessary evil.
    Almost just like it grew there, (What's this?) Bought this for use on a 2nd hand cobra fish n dive and very pleased. Whole process was easy and effective and it worked, which was even better. Do note that although the YouTube bid shows this as a continuous process the instructions say before popping the transducer in you need to let the adhesive cure for 24 hours. The video is a bit misleading in this regard. But if like me you checked the web for the best waynto mount a ff on a f"n"d cobra this was as I said easy and effective.
    Easy and works on my Ocean Kayak, (What's this?) I was able to follow the directions and found a video on YouTube to just explain it a little better. I have an Ocean Kayak Malibu 2 XL and this fit just forward of the rear hatch in a flat spot in the middle of the hull. Super easy to do. I like the grease better than some other methods that use epoxy. Epoxy tends to have air bubbles and I'm thinking that the grease will allow them to escape better, thus making a better bond. I did use a Humminbird 160 transducer and it fit snugly so I don't have to worry about it moving around.
    Makes it very simple, (What's this?) Saves time and makes the install so eay. Mine works perfect! BE SURE you follow instructions and allow the proper time for the holder to set.
    It is OK, (What's this?) It came with a detailed and easy instruction. Installation was quite easy too. I Followed the instruction and found the grease leaking although I followed the manual and settled the stick tape overnight. It is cold weather so the grease is not spreading yet but not sure if it will hold during the hot summer time. Have not tried the kayak out yet so I can not tell of the readig accuracy yet.
    not what I expected, (What's this?) I expected this to be good for mounting my transducer in my kayak. Great if you never turn your kayak upside down as the grease will leak out. I tried using the cup to hold marine goop - but the transducer kept crawling up the sides.
    complete waste of money.
    Worth the money!, (What's this?) I Purchased this product for my Tarpon 120 after considering many of the cheaper install options. For about $10 dollars more than most do-it-yourself options I bought this kit. It installed fast with a clean, sturdy professional look that does not damage the kayak and can be easily removed in the future if desired. It also improves the signal of my Piranha Max 190C fish finder. For peace of mind and the easy no worry installation, I think its worth the investment.
    Great for Kayak use!, (What's this?) Bought for Kayak fishing! Heard so much horror stories of people using cheap transducer mounting methods, sounded like more frustration then anything else. Used this kit with P'max 170 and have no problems at all.

    Humminbird BFT 1 Fishin' Buddy Float Tube Strap great for the float tube


    good product, (What's this?)
    Good product, (What's this?) I use this with my Fishin Buddy Fish Finder on my float tube and it works great. I really have no complaints about this.

    Holds the fish finder great, doesn't come loose, very sturdy, made to last, very light, doesn't get in the way.

    Also works good as a rod-holder.
    great for the float tube, (What's this?) The strap keeps this in place and is lightweight. Easy to put on and remove, but I leave mine on, as it is by no means in the way. The design is simple but effective, and glad I got it.
    Does the job, (What's this?) The Humminbird Fishin' Buddy (FB) float tube strap works ok. The strap needs to be longer. I have it fully extended and it barely wraps around the narrowest circumference of my V-pontoon float tube. Also, the FB holder part of the strap tends to shift off vertical axis due to water drag on the FB transducer shaft, but that's more of an annoyance than a problem - the FB still works fine. I would still recommend it.
    great accessory, Works great on my float tube.
    Humminbird BFT 1 Fishin' Buddy Float Tube Strap, (What's this?) Couldn't use it on the float tube without it. I also managed to use it on my kayak with this strap thru a scupper hole.

  • Waterproof
  • Black
  • Buddy Float Strap Tube
  • Durable Nylon

    Humminbird 710226-1 XNT 9 DI T Transom Mount Transducer Saved a lot


    Transducer, (What's this?)
    Saved a lot, (What's this?) Husband went to Humminbird's website and the exact same transducer was $100 more. I searched Amazon and found the exact same transducer for much less. Shipment was prompt, transducer was easy to install and works great. I would recommend buying the trolling motor mount Humminbird 7400871 AD XTM 9 Trolling Motor Adapter) designed for this transducer because we lost the first one because he had just tie strapped it down to the trolling motor.


    Factory part., (What's this?) This transducer is specifically for the 587 DI Humminbird Depth-finder. Amazon had it in stock when none else had it and the price was a good deal as well.

  • For use with: 788ci HD DI Combo, 597ci HD DI Combo, 596c HD DI, Combo and 570 DI
