Fish finders, GPS, and alarms

Each item is a catalog type, not a brand. Open finders, GPS, and alarms for when they belong in the kit.

Which fishing electronics do you need?

Most anglers need one device, not all of them. Start with the job you need done:

  • Fish finder: shows depth, bottom and fish under a boat or kayak. The first upgrade for boat anglers.
  • GPS or chartplotter: marks spots and routes on big water and at sea. A chartplotter adds charts.
  • Bite alarm: sounds when the line moves, for carp and night fishing on still water.
  • Underwater camera: shows the bottom and the fish in clear, shallow water.
  • Water temperature meter: tells you when fish switch on. Pair it with the hourly fishing forecast on each spot.
