Hawkeye FishPod 5X Bluetooth Fish Finder

This thing is awesome!! What a great find! The kids loved testing it out in the lake! The fish visibility is accurate, great connection, and it’s easy to use!!

I have a traditional fish finder on my kayak but never liked dealing with all the wires and battery hassles that come with a traditional fish finder….. was looking for a basic fish finder for my Kayak and this works great, no wires laying all over the deck, just toss it on the water and it comment up to your phone with great graphics.

I bought this for my husband, who loves fishing and gear. And more gear. And still more gear. He loves his toys! We took it out yesterday for the first time and were both amazed. It took almost no time to install and activate. It did exactly what it was supposed to do and was easy to operate. The screens are easy to read and have so many options. It tracks the water depth, temperature and will even tell you how fast the current is moving. There weren't many fish out and about, but this unit did see the ones we were looking for. It's an awesome, low cost and low maintenance option. We're taking it out to deeper water this week on the boat and have high expectations, given its stellar performance yesterday. It really did surprise us! You won't find a better fish finder for this price.

Worked like a champ...saw lots of fish and helped us to put bait at right depths...

This doesn’t work for detecting structures and ALWAYS says there are fish 9-12 feet down. I’ve fished it in lakes with 30 feet of visibility and there weren’t any fish in sight. It’s a cool concept and inexpensive, but does not work as advertised. I tried all of the different settings. Trolling with this is spotty because it loses Bluetooth connection every few seconds as the water laps over it.

It is a sophisticated device in a sensible design- a bobber! Just make sure you have at least 10 lb. test line if you want to cast it out far! It has a good mass to it, and it floats like a bobber. You can also just drop it over the side to scan immediately below. In my case, I wasn't using it for fishing. I was getting a basic look at the bottom of an old swimming hole near us, looking for signs of hazardous objects in the water! Underwater fishing cameras don't work well in water that is not clear. It is not a substitute for a diver inspection. There were some curious graphics I determined were bottom muck and weeds. I did not use it for fish finding though,I just think it is a great product, and I find young people are fascinated by it. It can serve as an educational tool that is fun.

This product is good right out of the box. Easy to follow instuctions, easy to use. The graphics are great for a fish finder on your phone. I charged up the bobber and took it out to my lake. It showed everything you want in a fish finder to show. Temperature of the water, depth of the water. The terrain on the bottom of the lake and the fish and where they're at in depth of the lake. I would recommend anyone to purchase this item. Especially if you are fishing from the bank. Hook this up to a swivel and cast it out and watch what happens.

This is kind of a gadget toy. It sucks the heck out of your phone battery. I caught no additional fish using it
