Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Humminbird Smartcast RF30 is a fishfinder designed for the recreational angler ready for a step up from traditional fishing and offers an unmatched level of convenience. This fishfinder may be small, but it has plenty of built-in capabilities, and can provide you with the ultimate in portable sonar in a simple, rugged package that mounts directly on your wrist.
The Smartcast RF30 utilizes a traditional, single-beam 90-degree sonar to deliver ultra-wide coverage equal to twice the water depth up to 100 feet deep. Vital information is displayed on a high-visibility, 1.25-inch display with 48x32 lines of resolution, in a true STN grayscale that delivers clearly better images of the bottom, fish and structure. The large, easy-to-see digital readout is powered by an included Lithium 2450CR watch battery, and features a pulse backlit display for viewing during fading light conditions, as well as a time and date function. This system is designed to be waterproof, and has a 75-foot operating range allowing you to easily travel around without losing your signal.
The Smartcast RF30 comes with a waterproof, A-channel RSS (remote sonar system), although the readout's A/B option allows for the use of two RSS sensors in the same area. The RSS includes water surface temperature, typically lasts for 400 hours of in-the-water usage, and allows you to purchase replacements that are available on the manufacturer's web site, as well as at your local tackle dealer and major outdoor retailers. The Smartcast RF30 features one-touch menu navigation that allows you to easily control FishID+, depth range, fish alarm, and sensitivity. It also features Wet Switch technology that maximizes the battery life by automatically shutting down when the Advanced RSS is out of the water. For those who like to travel light and go fishing anywhere and everywhere, this system is the perfect companion.
What's in the Box
Remote sonar sensor, wrist sonar, 2450CR battery, and operation manual.

SmartCast is a real good Fishfinder for shallow water,
This review is from: Humminbird SmartCast RF30 1.25-Inch Water Resistant Fishfinder (Electronics)
When I used this fishfinder for the first time, I was somewhat disapointed. I usually fish from the boat in depths of between 18 - 25m, so I did when using the fishfinder for the first time. I ancored my boat in a depth of 20m and then cast the RSS into the water. However, the display did not show me the ground, it only showed 0.0m, there were a little bit of waves but only about 10cm, moving closer to the shore, the FishFinder started working at a depth of 17m. Therefore do not expect the Fishfinder to work at depths up to 100ft (30m) unless the water is flat as a mirror.

Hummingbird fishfinder sucks! Be warned,
This review is from: Humminbird SmartCast RF30 1.25-Inch Water Resistant Fishfinder (Electronics)
This product just does not work. I've ordered three different models, ranging from the basic RF30 to the RF40 and none of them are worth the plastic they ship in.
First of all, the battery on the watch display lasts for about one day's worth of fishing, and they cost about $6-$8 to replace. In terms of their abilityi to find fish, it cannot distinguish between a school of small feeder fish, and when I say small, I mean tiny and a 10lb bass. I actually watched fish ranging from 2-15 lbs, swimming directly under the sensor and it would not alert me to their presence. I cannot believe that Hummingbird can get away with actually marketing this product. It's trash!

Surprisingly Good,

This review is from: Humminbird SmartCast RF30 1.25-Inch Water Resistant Fishfinder (Electronics)
I got this as a gift and had very little confidence that it'd be a good product. It sat in my closet for months then I finally put it to use at Tom Lake in northern Minnesota. My brother and I (avid fishermen - especially my brother) tested it this past weekend and were amazed to say the least. First, we compared its depth readings to his Lowrance, and they were the same, so we started to believe that it could at least guage depth. We trolled all evening and pulled the green device on a spare poll behind the boat. After a little while, it found the structure and drop-offs at the bottom of the lake and even painted fish where we got nibbles and pulled some in the boat. In turn, we gained more confidence in the device. We ended up "mapping" out severeal parts of the lake within a few days, and the consitency with the smartcast was very surprising. We went over the same spots with the same results. We dragged it behind the boat all weekend as we trolled, and it proved very accurate and effective as a depth finder. Not to mention a fish finder. There were several times it showed fish on the display and we got hits and/or caught walleye. None of us thought it'd be good at it, but it was.
It's not the most advanced device, but it does do a good job. One piece of advice: read ALL the directions! It will make it a more effective device as there are different settings to utilize. For the price, it's well worth it. It did everything that was expected and more. Used it for three days straight with success.
