Marine Fish Finders & Flashers

For many decades, echo sounders or sonars have been used for sea navigation, military purposes, or scientific research. But in the new millennium, the range of their application has somewhat expanded. Introduced relatively recently and based on sonar technology, so-called flashers and fish finders get more and more popular. Both of them come with wired transducers that need to be submerged in water for proper operation, but the way they display information is different. While fish finders can show you the bottom and fish in a more or less natural way, the picture displayed by flashers needs to be properly interpreted.

Commonly used by ice anglers, these devices show a number of red, yellow, and green strips on a round scale of depth. A wide red strip is the bottom, a thinner yellow or red strip is a fish, and a yellow or green line is your lure. The actual picture can be more complex, but in fact, you see everything you need in the column of water under the ice: a bottom, lure, and fish, in real time. Sure, fish finders can also be used, but flashers are often quicker and have longer battery life. In our online store, you will find plenty of marine fish finders & flashers designed to take your fishing experience to a new level.
