There’s a certain “getting back to nature” feel when parting the serene surfaces in a kayak or canoe. Let yourself go; become one with the water. Read the shoreline and make a cast. Catch the cut of a current break and paint it with a jig. Ah, the tranquility and private reunion with the natural world...

Not a bite, you say? But it all looks so right and you’re “feeling it.” So, ah, how deep of water you fishin’? Not a clue, you say? Hmmm… Wonder if that’s the problem. See any fish? Again, no. Well, you don’t need to disturb the quietude and burn any fossil fuels to stoke the fire of success.

The svelte, walkie-talkie sized portable device offers full size sonar performance. On its proven crystal quick vertical display, the Troller instantly locks on to bottom, and clearly displays the location of fish and your lure, anywhere in the water column.

No permanent mounting or cutting is necessary all the way around. The Troller’s transducer fires right through the hull without gluing it to anything – although it can be mounted permanently with epoxy.

The Troller is efficient, too. Six AA batteries fashion distinct pixels for up to 20 hours of continuous use. Think about it. Half dozen batteries and you’re finding fish, depth and structure for an entire weekend.
So let it be known that we’re all about the placidness and simplicity of fishing from a kayak or canoe. But why not let an affordable, pocket-sized sonar promise to put a bend in your pole? You should. Mother Nature will grant you a hall pass on this one, too.
