Hunt Family’s insights: 

The iBobber app is easy to use and straightforward. It is a great way to see what is beneath your favorite fishing spot without spooking the fish. It is also a great way to record weather patterns and how they are related to a successful fishing day. We took the iBobber out in 30 mph wind gusts with heavy bands of rain coming through, and it still performed extremely well. It’s a great gift idea for anglers.
