Thanks to technology, from PowerVision Robotics Corporation, everything changes. Introducing the PowerRay Underwater Robot that was unveiled at CES 2017 earlier this month.

Essentially, the PowerRay is technology that was designed to revolutionize the way that fishermen catch fish. It features a variety of tech that drastically increases the chances of you catching that monster you’ve been dreaming about.

The PowerRay comes complete with a detachable sonar that has a range of 131 feet with an accuracy of 10cm (4-inches). It can also dive down to a depth of 98 feet.

The PowerRay is also suitable to be used in freshwater, saltwater, or ice fishing. It combines the maneuverability of a drone with the technology needed to enhance your fishing experience. One of the add-ons is the PowerRay Fishfinder; it gives you an underwater sonar that can detect fish up to 40 meters away with a precision of 10cm. PowerRay also sends you real time images of the fish and the underwater landscape. Check out the video below.
