Croix Premiere fishing rod, with an Abu-Garcia Revo Premiere PRM30 Reel loaded with 20lb Sufix 832 line and a 30lb leader. The fish finder had no issues showing the bait on the chart or the flasher.ĭeeper CHIRP is lightweight and easy to castĬasting the Deeper CHIRP was easy. During ice fishing, I was able to observe larger smelt baits right down to 1/8 th oz jigs with imitation maggots for bait. I was able to observe fish moving in and out and taking my tip up bait. The Deeper CHIRP fish finder also did an amazing job in the ice fishing tip up hole. At Ghost, in 100 feet of water, I could see fish as distinct arches and distinguish between bigger and smaller fish. I was able to observe fish holding on the edges at Grotto right, on 9 feet depth. The wide beam was great for mapping at Gap and Grotto, fast uptake and superior graphics made it easy to see fish with or without the fish icons. The fish markers were nice arches and even without the fish icons on, I could identify fish. The narrow beam cut right through and delivered fast information to my phone and tablets. At Ghost lake, the ice was over 3 feet think on water over 100 feet deep. That is much faster than my Deeper PRO+ charge time.Īmazing three beam frequencies for mapping lakes and ice fishing It took 1 hour and 9 minutes to fully recharge Deeper CHIRP. I recharged the unit in my truck on site. I was laughing and my wife, Laura, could not believe how far away I was with the Deeper unit. What’s interesting is that at its lowest battery charge, the fish finder was working like a fully charged unit and sending info to my tablet over 100 yards away, more than a football field!!! I kept increasing the distance, the signal uptake was fast, accurate and working perfectly until the battery finally ran out.

At 12%, I was able to nearly map the entire Grotto Lake! Now this is where I was blown away with this Deeper fish finder. It still had 12% when I took it to the Gap and Grotto lakes for open water testing. I took it out on the ice four times and it just kept going. The Deeper CHIRP battery lasted forever! I was using it ice fishing and could not get it to run out before I got so cold, I had to pack up. Deeper hit a home run with it.įishing with the Deeper CHIRP Fish Finder It’s a solid looking fish finder and packaged beautifully. Overall, my first impression is Five Star. A new beginner to Deeper would be able to follow the quick guide and get set up easily. I love the color of it, the green is great and perfect in situations when you want the fish finder to be less visible to the fish.Įverything is set up in the box to be user friendly, and the quick guide is easy and simple to follow. The Deeper CHIRP fish finder is easy to open and close, just like all other Deeper wireless fish finders. I love the new box very much! Let me just say that again, I LOVE THE NEW BOX! It’s great and I am less likely to drop one of the screw attachments with the new box. When it arrived, I took it out of the shipping box, the first impression of the Deeper CHIRP packaging was very impressive. I did not discriminate in field testing the Deeper CHIRP fish finder vigorously and used it in several situations, including ice fishing and open water situations. This report documents my field testing of Deeper CHIRP. It is probably the finest sonar I have ever used, for several reasons, which I explain below. I’ve had the opportunity to use it extensively and am happy to say, I’m extremely impressed with Deeper CHIRP. Looking for a castable, but very powerful fish finder? If so, then meet Deeper CHIRP, the first ever, portable, castable fish finder to incorporate CHIRP sonar technology.
