Anyone use a deeper? Are they worth getting to map out swims and find depths?

Thanks Brad

Yes to both parts
Just turn the fish finder part off

If you are a purist then no lol

I have been wondering this myself for use on my bait boat. I have no idea what one I would need to get and I have also seen they do a range extender. It wouldn't be much use to me if i couldn't use it beyond 100 yrds, so if anyone could give their experience of using them it would be really helpful.

Can you use them off the back of a boat and is there is any benefit over a normal fish finder?

With Nd Wifi Extender

205 Yard: Signal good
240 yard: Lost signal


The box was to big for me so i bought the Deeper extender, range result: same as with the ND Wifi extender

I have the Deeper chirp+ 2 (2nd hand bought for €150 was never used) and it's very good, I use it with the New direction deeper mount.

My Tripod setup (crap phone camera)

Yes you can
Can even attach to a baiting pole
It will depend on what fish finder you are using and if you can get a mount for a boat
I'm sure you could mcgyver something to use on a boat

That's the nice thing with the deeper you can use it without a boat, never let it built into your bait boat but use a Deeper mount

You can also make you own range extender easily, for around half the price of the ND using the exact same technology.
Its a vonnets vap 11 inside, just need a box / aeriels as well.

And what did you get without the extender? As on the box or less?

I made the mistake of buying some china thing, 100 on the box, 30'ish in practice. I mean some deviation is to be expected, but not like that:P

Open water 110 yard without Extender

My diy kit after returing the Nd wifi extender:
-Vonets VAP11S 2.4GHz (same as Nd wifi extender)
-Kaunosta RP-SMA Cable RP-SMA Male to RP-SMA Female 15 cm RG316
-LIVAIA 104 x Velcro Cable Ties Resealable Velcro Cable Ties 15
-MAX MAX002S IP67 Rated Accessory Tool Box
-Anker PowerCore 5000 (round model)

All from Amazon.de

But when it was all delivered I saw a 30% off deal on the Deeper extender and I ended up returning everything after testing the Deeper extender

They are very good all round but are excellent for short sessions save time rather than leading around or using a marker float
