Deeper Pro Plus Fish Finder – Who is it for?
This fish finder is a tech enthusiasts dream, or for any serious angler who really wants to get into the data details.
What seperates this model from the Deeper Start Fish Finder, is that the casting range and depth range are both much further. The Deeper Pro Plus also offers dual beam, whereas the Deeper Start Fish Finder only has single beam. Target seperation is also 1 inch with the Pro Plus, whereas it is 2 inches with the Deeper Start Fish Finder. Lastly one of the defining issues for those who are in to ice fishing is the operating temperature of the device. The Deeper Pro Plus model has a much wider operating temperature than the Deeper Start Fish Finder and can operate from -4°F to 104°F. The Deeper Start Fish Finder by contrast only operates from 32°F to 104°F – Quite a difference.
There’s an App for that
Every scan and map are saved on the Fish Deeper App, and available on any smart device. You can build up a detailed record of every location you fish at, which we found to be extremely useful. Although many other fish finders offer very detailed records, there is something nice about having them contained on your smart phone available at any particular time!

Verdict
We think this partiular fish finder is going to be great for the more serious anglers who are wanting something that provides a better range and depth than the Deeper Start Fish Finder. If you are a regular Ice Fisher then the Deeper Pro Plus model is definitely one of the most portable models you should be considering. As one of the top selling fish finders it is hard to find much wrong with this particular fish finder. What we would say is that it is not the cheapest fish finder available on the market and you will also need to be able to be reasonably competent with using Apps and syncing to your phone. In this way this fish finder may not be for everyone, but if you enjoy detail, data and technology and want something extremely portable for ice fishing, then this will make a great fish finder for you.
