    Default Fish Finder for a tube

    I was thinking about getting a fish/depth finder to use on my tube. Anyone use them on their tubes? Any tips on what to get? Thanks

    I'm still waiting for it to get here but I got a PiranhaMax 230 Portable, has a wired transducer and the castable wireless transducer, runs on 8xAAs but also ordered a 6ft power cable so I can run it off some 12v lead acid batteries when shore fishing, or the battery on my buddies boat when we're out and about..

    I don't imagine it would be tough to rig up something for your tube, they make some slim lead-acid batteries that only weight a couple pounds..

    Here ya go.. The 230 Portable is the same footprint, just has the dual beam wired transducer and also had the benefit of the wireless castable transducer.

    Default Fish Finder

    Go to this site and link to Bass Pros, save 10% I think socalfishn.com. You can find one that runs on 6 AA batteries and mounts to your tube.
