The FishPod 5X is a castable sonar bobber that sends depth and fish readings to a free iOS or Android app over Bluetooth. It has four preset modes that auto-tune the sonar for fish size, depth or schooling, plus FishEcho clutter filtering. It suits bank anglers, kayakers and ice fishers who want a depth and fish finder without a boat-mounted unit. Against fixed-mount finders it trades screen size and GPS for portability, and it lacks the mapping and side imaging of pricier castable rivals.

Owners of castable fish finders like this one generally praise the quick setup and readable depth and fish marks on a phone. Common complaints center on Bluetooth dropouts at longer casts and short battery life.
The Hawkeye FishPod 5X is a portable sonar fish finder that connects to a smartphone over Bluetooth. It works with an app for iOS and Android, so the phone serves as the display. The unit is a pocket-sized, castable bobber.
Setup is one-touch. Four preset operating modes adjust the screen settings automatically to target fish by size, depth, or schooling. FishEcho technology tunes the sonar in the water column to show fish size and depth while filtering out clutter, debris, and false echoes.
The TraxNut mounting system attaches to any 1/4 x 20 mounting bracket, so the unit can be used on different fishing platforms.
