This is a little off topic but since we are talking about flashers and sonar I thought I would throw in one more option.
For my fellow fishing nerds that have been following the news out of the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, you may have seen that a wireless sonar/flasher unit that looks like a tennis ball sized death star took home a top award at the show.
The "Deeper" brand fish finder works with iOS and Android devices over Bluetooth. You drop the floating ball in the hole and can configure the app on your phone or tablet to display flasher or sonar info. The unit also comes with specially positioned connection points to allow you to tow it behind a float tube or kayak as well as cast and retrieve it in open water. It has dual cone functionality so you can switch between 55 and 15 degree views. Battery life is stated as 4 hours and the battery can't be charged while the unit is in use.
I was about to pull the trigger on this as I think a pocket sized finder would fit well in my grab and go fishing bag. The only thing that held me back was a distinct lack of information in the target separation department. I sent the company a request for the info and just got a reply this morning. (See attached image)
That is a deal killer for me.
