Castable Fish Finder

Castable fish finders provide valuable insight into water structures and fish-rich areas from shore, while the devices from Garmin, Lowrance and Deeper fit easily onto standard fishing lines with 20lb test weight or greater test weight line and connect directly with an app on your smartphone for user display.
