Description
iBobber can now display fish detection and depth info on your Apple Watch!
Love at first cast. The fishfinder that
syncs with your iPhone or iPad.
There’s a lot to love about iBobber™. It syncs via Bluetooth® Smart (Bluetooth Low Energy Technology) with your iOS device up to 100’ away from a boat, shore, kayak, or pier, so you have a fishfinder with a solid connection, that won't deplete your phone's battery like wi-fi does, a fishfinder that goes up to 8hrs on a charge, that's half the size and weight— a fishfinder that’s as mobile as you are.
The Bluetooth Smart standard is different from the Bluetooth® used in other fishfinders.
Bluetooth Smart is designed for short messages from nearby devices such as temperature sensors, proximity sensors, and medical devices such as heart monitors, and now sonar signals.
The iBobber app in conjunction with the iBobber bobber (sold separately) enables you to locate fish up to 135’ under water, GPS Tag favorite hotspots, map the contour o waterbeds, and measure water temperature.
You’ll love that you can save all your fishing adventures with the Trip Log, and share them all on social media. You’ll also love the Lunar Calendar, Fish Alarm, Strike Alarm, Bobber Beacon, Weather sync, and the app’s stunning graphics.
iBobber is for anyone who loves to find fish, and wants to catch more of them.
Just cast the bobber (sold separately) and Ping! the iBobber app syncs via Bluetooth Smart and displays where the fish are.
The iBobber app is designed for one-handed use, and can help make fishing more fun
than it's ever been. Even if you have a boat-mounted fishfinder, iBobber can free
you from seeing fish only under your boat. And finding more fish is always a lot
more fun than just fishing!

Ratings and Reviews
It does its job
The iBobber does its job. I’ve found interesting features around my local fishing spot. The mapping feature works really well but the connection is often weak when using the sonar function. I suppose I don’t bring it back quick like when mapping. I still go 4 stars because I can see more from the shore now and move from bad spots and find better ones with cover.
I does the job. 1 suggestion for the fish alarm is “1 ping only please” until a new fish comes on the screen.
If you get my 1 ping reference I’ll go 5 stars.
Easy to use
I fish from a fishing well which is basically a house out in the middle of the lake so my iBobber is never more than 25 feet from my iPhone. The connection has always been good and I have been very pleased with its performance. Battery life appears to be greater than the ten hours advertised on the box. However the iPhone blue tooth connection uses up lots of phone battery so I suggest having a way to charge your phone on extended trips. The iBobber ease of use is an important feature which allows me to fish without a lot of setup. I have a Garmin Striker 4 which really isn’t designed to be portable and requires a lot of setup whenever I go fishing. Fishing from a stationary location I have not had the need to test the mapping feature. Overall I recommend the iBobber
Completely fake
I have a pond at my house so I used it to setup there are no fish I know the depth and what the bottom looks like it it’s crystal clear and no rocks or plants or deep holes. So when I set it up it’s about 4-6 ft off when it reads depth I was also suprised to find out I have multiple ghost fish in my pond!! it says there are multiple fish under 15 in and 1 over 15 in it and I can clearly see no fish! It says I have 2 big ledges that go up 4ft but it’s a flat bottom it just makes up stuff and people that have no idea whats in the water at a lake or river with low visibility probably believe what they are seeing. That’s not cool! It’s completely wrong! Don’t buy it save some $ get a better setup!
