I have used this and it works. it uses the same technology the Navy uses to locate submarines. Planes fly over head and drop these remote sensors that ping sonar until it hit's something and sends it back then it is relayed via satellite.
This technology is set-up to be on your line to see what is directley below your line. It is perfect for tubers and people fishing off the shore or piers.
I actually use two sensors. One on my line and one connected directly below my pontoon. It is not a 100% because the signal is sent our like a radio and is subject to interference but in short distances it works good.
I would try it and make your own determination. I have seen these large fish finders on tubes and they are bulky and a pain, this is not.
I saw a guy over at Anaheim Bay drop his in the water because it was not mounted correctley, he lost $300 that day [
