Fish Finder Praktik 8 Multi Language

The fish finder is 2-language (English, Russian)

The colorful 2023 multi-frequency upgrade of the Praktik fish finder, popular among fishermen, the Praktik 8, is convenient to use for active ice fishing. Shows both fish and the bottom. It seems to have been designed by Russians to break the nerves of Estonian fishermen, when during a poor bite you repeatedly and clearly see the fish rising towards the bottom and leaving again without touching the bottom. More sensitive than previous models, multi-frequency, and with a color screen. Different variants of the PRAKTIK 8 use either an internal lithium battery that is charged via a USB port located in the screen housing, or, analogously to earlier models, AA batteries installed in the sensor. Batteries located in the sensor should theoretically last better than a battery located in the screen exposed to strong sub-zero temperatures. However, Estonian users of the battery variants of the Praktik 8 have given feedback that the battery lasts several days without charging. The advantage of the battery variant is again the fact that the sensor is one piece and cannot be opened. Openable sensors (for battery replacement) were one of the main sources of faults and problems in older models when they got wet.
The fish finder is small and fits nicely in a pocket. The sensor is connected to the color screen via a cable (total device weight only 170g). According to the manufacturer, one charge or one set of batteries provides at least 20 hours of operation, but current practice shows significantly more. The fish finder can operate in water depths of 0.5 – 70 m and withstands temperatures ranging from -25C to +50C.
The sensor’s viewing angle is either 12 or 35 degrees depending on the frequency used, the signal frequency varies between 300 and 500 kHz, depending on the mode.
