![]() Fish icons are great and can be filtered to small, medium and large fish.The Deeper CHIRP+ has several nice features that make the device accessible to new users. I could not believe that I hadn’t brought a lure rod with me and contemplated going home for it on many occasions. It’s so exciting to see your potential target species and have an idea of where to put your bait. In typical fashion, the predators were lying in wait a few feet from this spot getting ready to smash anything stupid enough to emerge. The device told us that the huge shole we found were sat in the deepest area of the lake (we didn’t know where this was beforehand) amongst a patch of vegetation. We found a huge shoal of what I would guess at being bream and several potential pike lying in ambush at the bottom of nearby drop-offs. However, the Deeper CHIRP+ did its job and found lots of features and fish-holding spots. We tried our best to cover most of the water on our venue but this was difficult due to the state of the lake concerned and the limited number of appropriate casting spots. If you need any further info on setting up your Deeper CHIRP+. On our second trip, we used the ‘Shore’ setting and our maps were created seamlessly. Pro Tip* On our first trip out we used the devices default setting which is ‘Standard Scan’ and later found out that this setting does not create the maps we wanted. If you want to create a Bathymetric map (more on this later) be sure to use the correct setting. Shock Leader: 50lb (probably not necessary)Īs soon as the device gets wet open your app and it will connect to your sonar. We probably went a little overboard but the last thing we wanted to do was lose it! ![]() In case you are interested this is the setup we used to cast the device from the bank. Just attach your leader to one of the three anchor points (Shore Fishing, Trolling and Vertical) and you are good to go. You could easily do all this at the bankside but we wanted to be set up before we arrived at our venue.Īttaching the device is super easy although I would prefer if Deeper enclosed a leader as other companies such as Garmin do. We dropped our device in the sink to activate the deeper and connected it to the internal WIFI. I use an Apple iPhone but there is an app for Android devices too. Just register an account with Deeper and download the App to your phone. It probably took longer to type up than it took to do. The device shows an amber light while charging and a solid green light when fully charged. When it comes to charging I found Deeper’s estimates of 80% in 45 minutes to 100% in 75 minutes to be bang on the money. Be sure to re-attach this securely before you cast it into the water as failing to do this would destroy the unit! Fortunately, Deeper added some markers to the ABS to show you when the device is watertight. The charging port is found on the inside of the device and you can access this by unscrewing the top section from the bottom. The blend of British Racing Green ABS enclosure and titanium inserts, not only look good but ensures the device can withstand heavy-duty use. I’m not going to lie, the Deeper CHIRP+ looks great. Should you choose to use an affiliate link please know that we are extremely grateful and any commission we do receive helps us to maintain the blog. This means that if you click a link and buy the product we may receive a small commission from the retailer (at no extra cost to yourself). While we only ever link to tackle and lures that we have used and recommended, the links below are affiliate links. This means you can find features and fish more easily and more efficiently, as well as a clearer picture of the lake, river or sea bed. The CHIRP+ will produce images with better target separation, better deep-water penetration and decreased clutter (‘noise’) in a faster time than the Pro+. In short, this means that the CHIRP’s results are much clearer and present a far more detailed representation of fish, fish-holding structures, weed beds or simply the lakebed in comparison to non-CHIRP models. The CHIRP+ however, releases a continuous flow of pulses ranging from low to high frequencies in a given beam (cone angle). ![]() Other models like the Deeper Pro use more traditional dual-beam SONAR, which transmits fixed sound wave frequencies into the water. The key difference between the Deeper CHIRP+ and other models in the Deeper range is the transducer and how many, and how often, ultra-sound pulses are emitted into the water column. What makes the Deeper CHIRP+ special and why should you invest your hard-earned cash in one? Castable fish finders have been around a while now and many anglers carry them to help find the fish on a tough day.
