Fisherman’s Dream: Humminbird RF35 Fish Finder Watch
Those who are fond of fishing may rub their hands in anticipation of a great haul. Now the places of the best fish biting may be identified not by experiment and different omens but just by one look at the wrist watch. Humminbird RF35 Fish Finder Watch is the first sonar system adjusted to the search of fish.
The device consists of two parts. The first one is a wrist watch which can work in a timepiece mode showing the time and date and in an interface mode showing the data about the situation under water. The second part is an under water sonar proper which is fixed at the bottom of the boat or at the inner side of the ice hole and traces fish. Although the size of the sonar is no bigger than a match box its potential is rather serious. The radius of coverage equals to 25 meters and the depth scan goes down up to 40 meters.
If the sonar found a shoal of fish the display of the watch will show its schematic location with precise position data in real time mode. The time of fishing is practically unlimited – the sonar is equipped with a powerful battery which provides 500 hours of power reserve.
