DEEPER PRO WIRELESS SONAR FOR CARP FISHING

[@dennisbayley6874]

Leon, I have one of these and I have used it for a few months. It has defo given me more confidence in knowing what is in front of me and it's saved a lot of time. I thought I was a bit of a whizz on it, but I have picked up a couple of good tips from your vid. If I had to add anything to your review, it would be to buy the Phone holder for your rod. It was expensive for a bit of rubber and a couple of elastic bands, but it makes using it a lot easier. But be careful when giving it that extra bit of oomph on the cast, just in case!!! And the other thing that I bought was the Orange cover. Again a bit steep at £12, but how hard is it to see a black marker in bright sunlight!!!!!!!! Pro's for me was as above, a load more confidence that I was finding clear spots and how hard the bottom was. I know this can be done with a lead about and a marker, but with this it is one cast and maybe a second to confirm the first = less disturbance. Con's, well obviously the price, and, get this, it gives me more confidence, but it destroys my mate. He is obsessed with the fish icons and will sit and sulk if we use it and don't find any fish in the swims!!!!! Good vid mate keep up the brill work and love to the Carp Dog.

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Thxs Dennis, glad you took something from the video.

[@giedrelis13]

Bought Pro+ about a month after The Big One after I spoke to Deeper lads and never looked back.Just like you,I don't use it all of the time if I know where I'm fishing,but in the new lakes always use it.Perfect for finding those gravel spots in between the weeds

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Glad you liking the vids :-)

[@MarkCarp]

nice one leon, I bought one of these back in early February, you've pretty much hit the nail on the head mate, its just another tool and a very good one specially if you fish short sessions like me. I know you don't use it as a fish finder but its worth turning that feature on, specially in winter, first time I used mine to map my water last winter it found me the carp too 👍

[@ericjackson7810]

Hi Leon, I own a deeper pro+, absolutely love it! A couple weeks ago, myself and a pal, were fishing a local lake, and we used the deeper to have a look around. We found a snag in my mates swim, and it showed that there were fish present nehind this smag, we clipped up the deeper and wrapped it out, casted out to the snag (just before it actually), and he had 3 fish from it in a short day session! Brilliant bit of kit!

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Brilliant result mate!

[@ericjackson7810]

I have recently broken my night time cap due to overcasting to some rocks! ouch, luckily, the sonar seems to be fine, need a new cap though. cracked like an egg shell!

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Very unfortunate

[@clivelogsdon1492]

I had the original one which was a bit restricted to distance so I brought the pro which I've used up to 100yds plus. Saves a hell of a lot of time plumbing and found things which you would have struggeld to find with a marker setup, they're spot on and definitely has helped me catch some fish. Worth every penny. Nice one

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Thxs Clive for the feedback

[@jupitorman]

Yeah just got mine today of market place £100 works a treat used the bait boat with it and mapped the bottom of the lake perfect ; )

[@clivelogsdon1492]

@@jupitorman just seen your reply. If you have any problems with it not charging, due to the amount it might have been used, try changing the charger and the cable. I've had mine for a long time and have used it a lot but a couple a few weeks ago it wouldn't charge and thought I'd have to get a new battery which is about £70. I emailed deeper they told me to do the above and it's been fine since then, also they said to charge it regularly even if it's not been used. It's a pukka piece of kit and saves hours when plumbing, when I find an interesting area I still have a lead around so feel what the lakebed is like

[@darrenoldnall857]

Thanks for the honest review Leon, I think I will pick one up, like you say its a good thing for someone on limited time that will allow them to better understand the water in front of them without constant casting/marker disturbance, nothing cheap in life this day and age but always like to get an honest review off someone who has used said product first.

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Its a great bit of kit that can be used as a tool to help you understand the topography of teh lake better. glad you liked the video

[@SouthWestCarpHunter]

I’ve got one. Very good bit of kit. I still lead about but use this too. It’s always pretty accurate. Great kit

[@kevcarp7373]

Fantastic review just what I'm looking for, Now on the list :)

[@wizzerwin8914]

Thanks brilliant description

[@markbrook-qh3do]

Hi mate,ive just got one of these,great video ,tbh didnt know about these you explaind it all thanks

[@johnbowen1382]

Had one for a bit first thing I get out when ever I go fishing ..cast out or on the back of me bait boat ..great bit of kit

[@bentleybagehott3197]

Leon, I've just bought a deeper pro... Really looking forward to using it.... I can't fish at the moment because I have bust my ankle up....however as soon as I'm ok for fishing I will be out with the deeper... Thanks for the vlog on the deeper really informative. Keep going fishing. G

Good vid bud 👍👊

[@uptagetnamn]

Subscribed good video! got myself a used pro+ today looking forward using it. Also i like your dialect :)

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Welcome to the channel and glad you liked the video

[@A_Patriots_AR15]

I wonder if launching with a drone would be a good idea?? what's the range. they could put a microsd slot on it so it could record even if it's out of range.

[@rossmcdaniel6034]

Great helpful blog, great work fella

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Glad you liking the vids :-)

[@carper-59]

Bought one think it's a great piece of kit

[@nathancorlett9895]

What distance can they b used at b4 you lose signal,thanks great vid Leon

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

I’ve used it upto around 70-80 yards

[@philclark6250]

Cheers Leon, just what I needed to know 👍

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Thxs Phil, glad you got something out of the video

[@Sye1-x2q]

Are you using the right attachment point should be the bottom one

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

You’re probably right

[@axelorexplores6894]

How do u get it apart I tried twisting and it did not work

[@dangerousdave668]

It's been a while since you put this up , what are your thoughts now ? I am thinking about the chirp version as I have a lowrance with chirp , far better than standard. Ta

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Hi David, I have to admit I haven’t used the deeper for maybe a year

[@DavidScobie]

Mrs Scobie is getting me one of these for Xmas I'm looking forward to getting it out

[@jasonwhitaker7937]

so whats your opinion ...worth getting ?

[@grahamrg]

informative yet again leon

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Thxs Graham

[@arronquinn1756]

Lovely pro stuff

[@RCdilbot01]

Can it detect a silt or gravel lake bed. if not you still need to cast out with a lead. to feel the bottom of the lake,

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

+RCdilbot01 I use the deeper as a rough guide to find a likely spot then always use a lead to find the right spot

[@awcarpetsflooring9380]

would be great for finding fish in winter

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

+AW Carpets & Flooring yes could be used for tahat

[@horrorfreaklondon3037]

A little tip from me.....if you are using a baiting pole.......oh you work it out!!!!! Its awesome...get right in....find a clear spot.....

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Good tip

[@TheVapingCarpers]

used one at the weekend and they are mint!! would love one in my fishing gear

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

they are a good tool to be used as part of your armoury

[@greenson07]

HI, I am a new subscriber to your channel. Your video was very informative, great job.

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Glad you liked it

[@thecarpwhisperer872]

Great video as always mate a lot of handy tips in there a couple of things I just wanted to ask hope you don’t .. so if I had the deeper not moving in water and fish was passing by would it detect them and come onto the screen and also show which way they are moving on the deeper

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

I believe there is a function on the deeper that you can set sensitivity for size of fish so it would work yes

[@michaelgoodyear2920]

how about doing a pros and cons between the deeper and fish-spy. good little vlog as usual mate

[@2010wembley]

Michael Goodyear i would say they are two totally different tools and both have the plusses and negatives. Probably need both to be honest!!

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

I may do a review on teh FishSpy in the future

[@martinmullen71]

Leon what sort of range does it work up to please ?

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

About 60 yards

[@archivefootage7898]

@@LEONBARTROPPCARPER If you buy a phone bracket and bankstick adaptor (about a £5 for the pair on eBay), you can mount your camera on a bankstick at shoulder height. This improves the reception and therefore the range. It also makes it very easy to monitor things in real time...enabling you to clip up as soon as a feature is identified, possibly even on your second cast to the same spot. I have this model but by all accounts the new chirp is even better. That having been said, it's identified spots in a weedy lake with gravel bars which I would not have found by simply leading around..unless I'd spent most of the day doing it! More importantly, I've caught fish on a notoriously hard water as a result.

[@robertlamprecht-i9h]

on a deeper pro how to change centigrade to fahrenheit ?

[@angelabanks1963]

im thinking of putting one on my big rc submarine,.does it float or sink this sonar

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

It floats

[@richcurtis813]

Nice one Leon! I have one, and they are great bits of kit. I am having trouble in trying to create an overview "map" of my lake using the gps facility. Could you perhaps demonstrate that?👍

[@2010wembley]

Richard Curtis You need to download the map for the country youre fishing in. EG for the UK: Settings-offline maps-europe-northern europe-uk. Then: Settings-sonar mode-onshore gps mode. The unit will then record every cast and map it. At the end of the session go into history. Highlight the session and send it. Then to access the map, you go to: deepersonar.com/en/introducing-lakebook-deeper-data-manager Log in and away you go. You can even share the map with mates. Each session adds to the map automatically. It sounds complicated but its dead easy and once youre used to it takes seconds. I will say android is different to ios in the commands but has a much stronger wifi signal. Edited to add, you have to wait for the satelite icon on the scanning screen, ie the screen that gives the depth reading, to turn green, this indicates its located where you are. 👍🏻

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Great advice gary, thanks for sharing your knowledge of the Deeper with us.

[@2010wembley]

LEON BARTROPP CARPER Youre welcome Leon.

[@richardlee7846]

Hi mate, when you find a likely spot how do you clip up to that spot? Obviously you've no lead on the spot to clip up to. Is it a case of just casting to where it's floating ?

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

+Richard Lee hi Richard, i Clip up the Deeper and then see how many wraps it is, then clip up my rod as a starting point

[@richardlee7846]

LEON BARTROPP CARPER thank you for replying. Can you tell me how you connect it to your mainline? Do you use a clip of some sort?

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

+Richard Lee I connect it to my spod rod via a clip and a sleeve to cover

[@Mark-hh4ko]

Really thinking about buying one but I’m fishing a big pit that goes 95ft deep and I’m not sure how it will react with such deep water

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Should be ok upto any depth I think but I’d check on the deeper website

[@leefoxall5812]

Great video 🤙🏻

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Thxs Lee

[@angelasheppard7197]

one of fears is the line breaking while casting. you say to use braid. have you heard of anyone having problems with line breakage?

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

+angela sheppard I use Braid but a flurocarbon leader to cushion it

[@Moaely]

hi. I love your channel and am a carp fisherman myself. However I tend to hook fish on outside of mouth. What am I doing wrong. My hook is no. 6, I have a normal hairrig with hook curved by 45 degrees. How can i increase the rate of hookup?

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

+Aleksander Mali lengthen your hooklink should work

[@Moaely]

LEON BARTROPP CARPER You mean between the method feeder and hook? What length do you recomend?

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

+Aleksander Mali yes try 6 inches

[@Moaely]

LEON BARTROPP CARPER many thanks!!

[@grahamrowland6681]

Great review Leon, I have the original deeper and I would not recommend it as it is bluetooth and you can not cast a good distance before it looses connection ( 30 m max), I suspect that is why the pro came about !! Does the pro work on shallow lakes 3-4 foot the normal one struggles but I need to change the angle to see if the works.

[@2010wembley]

Graham Rowland mine loses it around 2'6"

[@grahamrowland6681]

Gary Cross have you got it on the narrow beam

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Hi Graham, ive found it cant pick up anything deeper than 3ft, but i need tro play around with it i think as there may be a setting or adjustment that lets me do this

[@2010wembley]

Graham Rowland ive used it on both. The other night was on narrow when it lost the signal at 2'6"

[@grahamrowland6681]

Gary Cross 2=6 is ok it was no good in 4 foot and silt bottoms

[@Danny_Dennis]

Leon, hello mate.... do you still use this? I’m pondering getting one, & was wondering whether it was worth it? Cheers pal - keep up the good work. 👍🏼

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Used it last year briefly, it’s a good tool For finding areas or depths but I prefer to use a rod and lead myself

[@Danny_Dennis]

Cheers pal - appreciate your prompt response. Happy new year mate.... 👍🏼

[@jacobcorbett5849]

Do you know how many screens can able to connect to the deeper pro + thanks

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Not too sure but think it’s one

[@214Mante]

Got one of these and I think it's a perfect replacement for a marker. One thing guys, if casting from the bank it's much better using the bottom screw hole, I find it better balanced and much safer for bigger casts as it's in the main body. My question about it is what kind of retrieve rate have people found best for accurate mapping against the pulse rate of the sonar? Please help as I've found this very hard to gauge.

[@2010wembley]

Luke Mante I find a steady retrieve is best. If youve had a cast around on GPS mode and there is a 'hole' in the map I find you dont need to be directly over the top of that area. As long as you are close by and slowly retrieve, the deeper fills the gaps. Ive also found the more times you go over an area the more accurate it becomes.

[@richardross4590]

hi Leon do u need WiFi for it to work

[@2010wembley]

Richard Ross no. The deeper generates the wifi signal, your phone/tablet connects to that.

I don’t think you have to calibrate it

[@Stevo19801]

Can you cast this as far as a spomb?

[@2010wembley]

Stevo19801 deeper weighs 3 oz and is round, it easily casts 100m. Beyond that youd lose the signal.
