How deep can it read?

The maker rates maximum depth at about 45 m (147 ft), with a detecting range starting around 0.6 m. Real readings depend on water clarity, bottom hardness and how the transducer floats.

Does it work through ice?

It is marketed for ice fishing, but the wireless signal has to pass through ice and water. Clear, thin ice works better than thick, bubbly or snow-covered ice; many users drill a hole and float the transducer in it.

How far can the display be from the transducer?

The wireless range is rated to about 100 m (328 ft) in open conditions. Keep line of sight where you can, since the link weakens with distance and obstacles.

It runs on a 3.7V lithium-ion battery, and the unit also accepts a DC 10-18V input. Charge it before a trip; cold weather shortens battery life.

Does it show GPS or maps?

No. It shows depth, fish symbols and bottom contour only. For waypoints and mapping you need a different unit.

Typically the handheld display, the wireless floating transducer, a charger or cable and a manual. Check the listing's contents before buying, since bundles vary.

Our take on the Wireless Fish Finder Sonar Depth Sounder

The Lucky FF718LiC-WLA is a castable wireless sonar fish finder for shore, boat and ice fishing. The transducer floats and sends readings to a handheld display over a wireless link rated to about 100 m, so you can fish without running a cable. It reads depth to roughly 45 m, marks fish and shows bottom contour on a backlit screen with a depth alarm. It suits anglers who want a simple portable sounder for lakes and ponds; serious sonar users will miss GPS, mapping and CHIRP that pricier units offer.
