Product Description
Finding fish is much easier then ever before
Know well about depth of the water around your boat
For kayak/boat fishing, it is very important to know well about the depth of the water around your boat. The Venterior fish finder use sonar of 200 kHZ to detect and locate depth and bottom contour as well as fish directly below the transducer. The reading shows on display is very easy to read and understand.

It includes a 25ft cord with round sonar transducer and removable transducer float, which enables you to fish from a kayak, off the dock, or on bridge with the fish finder. If you are fishing off your kayak and the cord is too long for you, you can coil the rest of the cord.
Easy to use
Toss the transducer into water and turn on the display unit, it will show you the water depth and approximate fish depth if fish schools passing by.
Easy to set up
- 5 user selectable sensitivity: You can ignore small fish by lower the sensitivity.
- battery save mode: Battery save mode will allow the fish finder to work longer.
- backlight mode: Yellow backlight mode enables you to use the fish finder at night.
- fish alarm: It gives you alerts when it detects fish schools passing by (can be turned off).
- unit of measure: Water depth shows by meters or feet.
Suitable for ice fishing, kayak/boat fishing, shore/pier fishing and night fishing.

ICE FISHING1. If you would like to check the area for depth or fish before cutting the hole, please clear away snow to expose the ice surface. 2. The ice must be clear, free from air bubbles, voids, cracks, etc. 3. Place a small amount of liquid water on the ice and set the transducer on the water, allowing the unit to freeze to the ice. 4. Cut a hole through the ice and place the transducer directly in the water. |

Venterior portable fish finder review: Mission accomplished
Shameless blog self-promotion alert: Following is reposted from my blog, Carolinafishing.net. Disclosure: The blog post contains Amazon affiliate links, but I only recommend products and companies I love. Read my full disclosure policy at Carolinafishing.net.I wanted a portable fish finder for kayaks that’s inexpensive but gets the job done. After reading mostly positive reviews about the Venterior portable fish finder, I decided to buy one.I’m pleased with it overall so far, although it’s not perfect.Mission accomplishedThe Venterior portable fish finder correctly told me where the fish were during a trip on Lake Townsend in Greensboro, N.C. As a result, I caught a decent-size channel catfish after anchoring at a spot the fish finder was telling me was buzzing with activity. Biggest fish I’ve caught so far this year.SetupSetup is a snap. Just install four AAA batteries (not included) and familiarize yourself with the settings, including adjusting the sensitivity, battery saving mode, alarm, backlight and whether you want it to show meters or feet (more on that part later).It also comes with a strap, which I used so I could wear the fish finder around my neck.Room for improvementNow about that not perfect part. Couple of things. First, the transducer cable is way too long for use on a kayak, which some reviewers have noted. I bunched up what I didn’t need using zip ties, so that helped. Note to the manufacturer: Maybe give them varying lengths? Not a huge deal. But still.Another issue is when you change the default setting from meter to feet, it forgets if you turn it off (or it goes into battery saving mode). So you have to manually set it to feet each time, which can be annoying.But one of the biggest shortcomings as noted in Amazon reviews is it’s not waterproof. People have complained that the screen will get foggy if it’s exposed to even a little bit of moisture. The package says “Water Resistance Design” but I’m not sure what that means. Having said that, I knew well enough that it wasn’t waterproof because if it was, the manufacturer would certainly tout that feature. So I went into this eyes wide open. I’ve also got it around my neck to avoid placing it on the floor of the kayak where it might get wet. But I still might invest in a waterproof case if I need to set it down.Bottom line?No regrets buying it. The Venterior portable fish finder doesn’t have all the bells and whistles some others have and it isn’t without its flaws. But considering it’s only $40, this might be worth a closer look.

Don't do like i did and enthusiastically throw it in a body of water... The cable isn't as long as my brain made it out to be. I threw the whole thing in. Luckily I tried it out in a neighborhood pond first, and not saltwater. I placed it next to a little room dehumidifier for several hours, then rejuvenated some silica gel in the oven on a baking sheet at 175 degrees. I turned the over off, cracked the door and placed the electronic on top of the silica. It did the trick and it works flawlessly.
So how about how it works!
You obviously know its basic. Fish are on drop offs and structure. This shows you those things. On my kayak it has been great. I like that its so simple, because I can fish and not worry so much about whats going on.
I went to a lake that I know had severe drop offs and suspected was very deep in places. I was able to verify.
I also drifted a drop shot worm and caught 2 large mouth that it marked at the bottom. It marked a lot of fish down there and it worked, so on my first trip it was a success.
I affixed a piece of PVC tubing to the crate in the back of my kayak, made a 90 degree elbow and tube goes down into the water. The transducer is screwed into the PVC. I'll try and add a photo if I can think of it when I'm out.
I am VERY happy with this small purchase.
