I assume you are talking about one of the humminbird sounders that you attach to the end of your line and cast out. The lack of pixels on the screen would make interpreting the data difficult but depending on cost you may think it worthwhile. You can see the features of the product by clicking on this link.

Cheers for the link snakecatcher. Landbase sounders would be perfect for rivers and billabongs in the bush. Will definetely look into it for sure. Cheers.
