If I didn’t have one and was starting from scratch a looking solely for BWCA use I would probably go for the HawkEye fishtrax. Have heard it does the simple things well, affordable, lightweight, and powered by AAA batteries. This post got me curious and looked and as of right now it’s on a limited time deal on Amazon for $81

I try to save my phone battery for pictures but it’s a neat concept. With my luck though that little bobber would likely float away :)

This is similar to what I had but nicer. Digging all the features in a little hand held. Great find!

I take a battery backup with me, actually a couple. I also tie a line onto the iBobber.

Garmin Striker 4
Nocqua battery pack
Ram Mounts (size b)
All this fits in a small waterproof seal-line bag, weights about 3-5lbs. The battery has never died on a trip, generally fishing 4-6 full days.

I have always used my striker 4 with a generic AA battery case and use lithium which works well and has always lasted our whole trip. Do enough trips and it does add up quickly, so I’ve looked into a rechargeable battery pack. Which AH size nocqua do you use?
