This was interesting to say the least. The kids liked it and it kept them quiet and patient while in the boat so long. They didn't care weather they caught something or not....,they just liked looking and watching. It must have got water in the unit you look thru as after the 1st use it had a black/brown streak running thru the middle (of course) of the viewfinder. That made it difficult to really see good after that. Waiting to see if it will dry out and be OK later on. Can't use it trolling or in any weedy area's as if it gets stuck in the weeds and you pull, you could tear off the camera part and then it would be ruined and you might as well throw it away. Good for kids still fishing...off the end of the dock or quiet waters. Cost is too high a price to pay to keep kids entertained. Adults won't care for it. Too short a pole and it makes a loud noise when being cranked up. Enough to scare the fish and wake the dead. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Wish I could return it myself. I am sure the kids won't be asking to use it next year.

this is more like a kids toy you get better result when looking into a fish tank not worth it limited visibility Don't buy it

THIS IS THE FUNNIST THING I HAVE HAD IN YEARS. YOU DON'T EVEN CARE IF YOU DON'T CATCH ANYTHING. IT IS SO MUCH FUN TO JUST LOOK

Got this for my nephews who love to fish and they were psyched about it until they tried using it and the camera filled up with water on the first toss into the lake so it wasn't useable. Could've just been a bad batch of fishing rods??.. but anyway we returned it right away for a full refund.
Other than that the service was good. Fast delivery and fast pickup return service too.

Yes, it works, but only if the camera is still. So off a dock my be best. I was in canoe and the the uncontrollable movement made it difficult to see things. Cost was acceptable for this item, but I would not purchase it again. I wish I would have had the chance to test it out, I would have saved my money.

I was a bit skeptical about the product prior to purchase but it was such a cool concept that I had to take the leap. Well, I have been very pleased with Fisheyes and surprised about the multiple uses of the product. My primarily reason for the purchase was to keep my kids occupied when we went out on the boat in the lake. While they didn't catch any fish with it, they were able to clearly see the plant life on the bottom of the lake (not a very keep lake). They thought this was very cool. For the hell of it, I took it with him during my annual fly fishing getaway with my high school friends. What I did was to lay the camera in the stream, pointed sideways in calm pool behind a rock. I then extended the line to the max length (I think it is around 25') and watched for fish to show up. Well they did and we were able to catch several fish using this method. Don't fool yourself and think you will catch a big fish with this product - you won't but just entertaining the kids alone was well worth the price.

High hopes followed by immediate disappointment. Water leaked into glass housing, shorting out video. Will seek to get replacement, thinking maybe I got a defective unit.

Worked great for about 1 minute. Brought the camera out of the water to move to a different spot and it was filled with water. Promptly malfunctioned. Returned for refund. Maybe just got a lemon. Contemplating ordering another.

My husband saw a blog review of Fisheyes on the web and thought it would be fun to bring it to our summer vacation at Lake Hopatcong in New Jersey. The product worked great. My son caught two Sunfish off the dock and the image on the screen was better than we expected. I wouldn't recommend this to a hard core fisherman but our family certainly had fun with it!

I ordered this as a pre-cursor to buying a larger underwater camera system... I have since decided not to by the larger, more expensive system...Used it one time in a local lake, couldn't see anything....The water is apparently to murky, even with the light,,,The fact that you need clear water to use this needs to be put on the advertisement,,,,Tried it out to see if it actually worked before I took it to the lake...Had no problem seeing my dog...LOL....
