I thought this product would be very cool but it really isn't. It is really pretty hard to read because of the small display. Also since it floats all the time it is hard to keep it from constantly washing back toward you if fishing in a lake. River fishing is about impossible because the current makes the sonar not read properly. Overal it is a great idea but not the best product.

The Humminbird Smartcast RF20 is a fishfinder designed for the recreational angler ready for a step up from traditional fishing and offers an unmatched level of convenience. This fishfinder may be small, but it has plenty of built-in capabilities, and can provide you with the ultimate in portable sonar in a simple, rugged package that mounts directly on your fishing pole.The Smartcast RF20 utilizes a traditional, single-beam 90-degree sonar to deliver ultra-wide coverage equal to twice the water depth up to 100 feet deep. Vital information is displayed on a high-visibility, 1.25-inch display with 48x32 lines of resolution, in a true STN grayscale that delivers clearly better images of the bottom, fish and structure. The large, easy-to-see digital readout is powered by an included Lithium 2450CR watch battery. This system is designed to be waterproof, and has a 75-foot operating range allowing you to easily travel around without losing your signal.
The Smartcast RF20 comes with a waterproof, A-channel RSS (remote sonar system), although the readout has an A/B option that allows for the use of two RSS sensors in the same area. The RSS typically lasts for 400 hours of in-the-water usage, and allows you to purchase replacements that are available on the manufacturer's web site, as well as at your local tackle dealer and major outdoor retailers. The Smartcast RF20 features one-touch menu navigation that allows you to easily control FishID+, depth range, fish alarm, and sensitivity, as well as Wet Switch technology that maximizes battery life by automatically shutting down when the Advanced RSS is out of the water. For those who like to travel light and go fishing anywhere and everywhere, this system is the perfect companion.
