iBobber News — sonar

As our Facebook following continues to grow, we’ve been getting more messages from customers asking questions about how to use certain features of the iBobber. As the saying goes, if you have a question, chances are someone else has the same question. So for this week's blog, we're compiling your most frequently asked questions and answers about the iBobber - just in time for summer fishing!

If you’ve followed our Facebook page and website, you’ve probably seen our tutorial videos or read your user manual for your iBobber.

We wanted a good test subject for this experiment, one who has never used an iBobber, to demonstrate just how user-friendly this little gadget is. So first, let’s meet our iBobber tester and blogger:
