Deeper Quest Bait Boat – The Ultimate Carp Fishing Companion?

In 2024, Deeper, renowned for their expertise in sonar technology, unveiled the Deeper Quest—a state-of-the-art bait boat meticulously crafted for carp anglers. This innovative device seamlessly integrates advanced sonar capabilities with user-friendly features, setting a new benchmark in carp fishing technology.

Design and Build

Weighing approximately 5.5 kg, the Deeper Quest is both lightweight and robust, ensuring easy transport and durability. Its sleek, black stealth aesthetic not only appeals visually but also enhances its discreet presence on the water. The boat boasts a spacious bait capacity of up to 2 kg, which can be divided into two separate compartments, allowing anglers to deploy different bait types or quantities as needed. Additionally, a rig hopper at the rear ensures rigs remain untangled and dry until deployment.

Advanced Sonar and Navigation

Central to the Deeper Quest’s functionality is its integrated CHIRP+ 2 sonar system, providing precise depth readings with an accuracy of up to 1 centimetre. This high-resolution sonar enables anglers to identify fish locations, understand bottom contours, and assess underwater structures effectively. The boat offers an impressive range of up to 400 metres, ensuring comprehensive coverage of expansive fishing areas.

Equipped with GPS and autopilot features, users can predefine routes and waypoints, allowing the boat to navigate autonomously to specific spots. The Co-Pilot function further enhances stability, adjusting motor power to maintain a straight and steady course, even in challenging conditions.

User-Friendly Controls

The Deeper Quest is operated via a handheld transmitter designed for one-handed use, ensuring anglers can manage their rods simultaneously. This controller features a magnetic quick-release mechanism, facilitating the easy attachment of a smartphone or tablet holder, depending on user preference.

Through the Fish Deeper app, available on both iOS and Android platforms, users gain access to real-time data, including water temperature, battery status, and detailed bathymetric maps. The app also allows for the storage of multiple fishing spots and the activation of advanced features such as area scanning and route planning.

Performance and Safety

On a full charge, the Deeper Quest offers up to 7 hours of continuous operation, with a fast charging time of approximately 4 to 5 hours. Safety is paramount; the boat is equipped with an autopilot return-to-home function that activates if the battery level drops below 5% or if the signal becomes weak, ensuring the boat returns safely to its designated home point.

LED lights—white at the front and red at the rear—enhance visibility during low-light conditions, while an ‘invisibility mode’ allows users to disable lights for a stealthier approach. The boat’s design also includes weed guards around the propellers, enabling smooth navigation through vegetation-rich waters.
