Post by: jhinkle on Sep 06, 2017, 01:23 PM: I bought the deeper pro last year and it worked well when I finally figured it out. Then I had my phone on my lap while I was getting my chargers out for them and one of my poles started bobbing and my phone ended up in the hole. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Caught a 38" lake trout on 3# test while showing my friend how the deeper worked. Very good experience!

Post by: jhinkle on Sep 15, 2017, 12:47 PM: The only issues I found with my deeper pro is when I was around someone with a more powerful sonar it wouldn't work as well as if I was by myself. When I was in a place where I could only have two poles I kept them close enough and drilled a 3rd hole just for my deeper pro and put it in the middle of both and it picked up both holes and my jigs. My phone and charger are sitting at the bottom of Georgetown lake if anyone catches them. LOL.
