[@motiejuskn150]

4_sons_fishing Deeper is better. Sorry, but I had to say this. And Ibobber is cheap version of deeper. The quality of it isn't very good.

[@petejames9366]

Motiejus KN wrong! I’ve used both and the ibobber is every bit as accurate and doesn’t disconnect like the deeper unit does, there has been many comparisons between the two over the years and the ibobber has proven itself to be every bit as good, I own both and actually only take out the ibobber because of the connectivity issues known to plague the deeper

Thanks!😄😄👍👍

You'll get glare on most screens, just increase the brightness on your phone if needs be and you should be fine.

Hi! I’m enjoying this video. I’m considering purchasing the ibobber. I would like to know what that device you used to rest your rod on and it beeped to signal when fish were on? I look forward to hearing from you soon, Thanks!

It’s an electronic bell

[@robertrobarge5294]

Will the ibobber show you where the logs are on the bottom if there are any on the bottom

[@shellducasse]

can you add hook to this if so how?

[@DavidGarcia-sx8th]

WOW...YOU THINK IT WOULD HELP ME IN MY KAYAK...????

[@heathershull9649]

Unfortunately, the whole two hours I was fishing at my local pond the ibobber work for maybe the first 15 minutes. The entire rest of the fishing trip consisted of the ibobber saying something along the lines of connecting, searching for connection. Very disappointing. Any idea what could been the problem?

[@denisustinov4976]

Hi. What do the numbers represent tagged to a fish please?

[@sweetpain3770]

I understood how I bobber works but also let us know about the automatic fish catcher I mean the device which you have fixed with the rod and it indicates that fish has been caught automatically instead of pulling when it bites the bait...

[@chervilgoacher4499]

A bolt rig?

[@Heavy_Arrow312]

how deep will this sonar reach? areas I fish have holes from 5 ft to about 35-40ft

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

The iBobber has a maximum depth of 135ft (41m). It requires a minimum depth of 4ft (1.2m) to operate properly.

[@rfoutdoors6510]

Matt Meadows is it off demo mode

[@valeriespadt2230]

I just got one and am teaching myself how to use it. This video is very helpful. One piece of information I haven't been able to find in this video or the user manual is what the number next to the fish means. At one point, I saw 4 green fish icons on the sonar and each had a number with it. What is the iBobber telling me with the number. Thanks.

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

The iBobber tags 2 fish sizes - Orange tag is fish under 15 inches / 38cm, green tag is over 15 inches /38cm. The numbers shown on these tags refer to the depth of the fish. Hope this helps.

[@valeriespadt2230]

@@SecondChanceCoUk Thank you for the response. I finally got the depth thing figures out. Need to practice more with the iBobber to figure out how far away those fish are!

[@timm2020]

Does it let you know when you get a bite? Like vibrates your phone? Just curious.

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

You will receive an alarm / vibration (depending on your settings) on your phone - Strike Alarm: Know when fish bite, or take a nibble. The sensitive strike alarm tells you when a catch is close. Fish Alarm: Get notified when you catch a fish and immediately view details of the fish depth and size.

[@TheAudiostud]

Would you be able to use this bit of kit off a Harbour wall with a depth of say 25 feet ? Thank You

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

Yes that should be fine. It requires a minimum water depth of 4ft (1.2m) to operate properly and will reach a maximum depth of 135ft (41m).

[@phantomstrikex]

Hi, is this possible to change a transducer type, ex : for deepwater fishing. Thank you

Does it work to use it with a boat And sitting in the boat or use with a baitboat if you make in both situations a modification to be sure that the bobber lay on the water surface? (example: a mini rod with a short line)..just ask to be shure it works with my fishing habit :) Cheers

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

It is ok to have the iBobber be on the line while you are on the boat or kayak.

[@PapaSmurfx93]

Gonna be on your phone all the time using it. Waterproof your phone lol.

[@futtmill]

Does it effectively show the difference between hard and soft bottoms?

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

+futtmill Unfortunately not at the moment, however iBobber plan to roll out "raw" signal sonar display soon and it will be able to say more about the bottom.

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

+futtmill As mentioned last month, iBobber have now rolled out their app update that allows you to switch to a raw sonar mode so you can see exactly what the sonar is picking up. twitter.com/SecChanceLtd/status/706827100091715584

[@roostaraver]

What is the maximum range the ibobber works at from phone or tablet to the sonar in the water in yards

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

It has a maximum range of 33 yards (with no obstructions in between you and the iBobber)

[@fudsclub12]

Can you just leave it in the water while using a different pole for fishing. And can the Ibobber also see your fishing line?

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

+Alex - Yes you can but it also depends on your fishing laws if you are allowed to have 2 poles. Some states in US prohibit two poles in the water. It cannot see the fishing line.

[@harisingh6230]

Hi there. I am presuming that this thing will only work when the cell phone will receive a signal. Will it work without an internet connection while I am on a river where there is no signal?

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

It uses Bluetooth to connect tou your phone.

Hi ,thanks for information.İ tried it with my aquarium and i don't see any fish ,is it normal?

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

Thanks for your enquiry. The iBobber requires a minimum depth of 4ft (1.2m) to operate properly. Anything shallower than this will not show.

[@ilkerturan8334]

@@SecondChanceCoUk thank u Soo much . appreciate u

[@adamhale851]

Does it show you by a camera what is in the Walter like a under Walter camera

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

+Adam Hale - No, it doesn't have camera, the #iBobber is a sonar device that provides a graphic display on your smartphone. If you are interested in a fishing camera, I would highly recommend the #WaterWolf: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmOUdpSGn7B5oKM

[@robertrobarge5294]

So theres no way to turn it on and to turn it off? I was curious on where the on off button would be. I mean hows that work?thanks

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

The iBobber has contacts on the underside of the device that upon contact with the water turns the unit on.

[@milkman1274]

do u have to have internet connection to use?

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

+GloryFang No internet is required as it connects via the Bluetooth v4.0 that support iOS (Apple) 6.0, 7.0, and 8.1 operating systems, and phones and tablets for Android that run v4.3 and later. This includes iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and 6 series, iPad 3 & 4,and Mini, and phones and tablets for Android that run v4.3 and later. You can download the free app from the apple and Android stores.

[@sirhawk4367]

Can this be use for ice fishing?

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

Yes! But we want you to understand the limitations of sonar technology, too. All sonar needs liquid water to go anywhere or do anything. If the hole in the ice starts closing up, the sonar will be limited by the ice. This also means that if the ice is too thick under the water, it will disrupt the signal, which radiates in a cone shape (with the source at the top point). To avoid these issues, use our iBobber by centering it as best you can. As long as it has a clear path you should be fine.

[@Brianz99]

That fish is fat!! holy carp!!

[@DrivenWithDan96]

Does this accurately show weed on the bottom

[@blakeware6972]

how do u tie it on

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

+blake wareb Attach the iBobber to your fishing line by attaching your line through the higher of the two attachment points. We suggest you use a swivel and make sure it’s locked so the iBobber doesn’t become separated from the line. The lower attachment point is used to attach a lure when fishing for small pan fish.

[@stevefowler-ys6he]

You didn't say what type of connection you need to connect to android phone and how far out you can use it before it,s out of range !

[@jasonxu5746]

Will it work with iOS 9 soon?

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

+Jason Xu - Yes, the app has now been optimised for iOS 9. Here is a link to the app on the iTunes app store: itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibobber/id794673333?mt=8

[@z643]

hopefully this thing can transform into a drone and fly back to you when your line breaks

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

The safest way to use iBobber would be to use it first to find the best spot and then cast in that area. No risk of losing it then. Alternatively use 2 rods, one for the iBobber and another to fish with.

[@MrUrban55555]

is it only for iphone or also for android

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

+MrUrban55555 iBobber works with both iphone and android devices.

[@brianwright4696]

This is an advertisement. I’ve seen this reviewed before and people said it sucked

[@mikehawk9397]

Not a real review😂

[@ionjohn7814]

wrong colors or wrong places...the part in the water should be white, ths part above the water red or orange etc

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

The red part of the iBobber (the bottom) is where the sonar is located and will be submerged. The white part (the top) is where the bluetooth device is located and needs to be out of the water to communicate with your smartphone. This is also where the charging connectors are located, so the unit is actually upside down when placed in the charging dock. For more information visit the iBobber website - reelsonar.com/products/ibobber

[@ionjohn7814]

Second Chance Limited they should be colored the other way around...white under water so you do not scare the fish and red above the wate to be more visible to fishermen...white above the water can be invisible on a Sunny day

[@SecondChanceCoUk]

I understand what you're saying. I will send your suggestion back to Reel Sonar.

[@roostaraver]

Ion John but this isn’t for while your fishing it’s to map the lake bed before you cast out

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.
