Taking Watercraft to the Next Level — Michael Buchwalder Reviews the Probe
Share
When Feeder Fishing World Champion Michael Buchwalder puts new technology to the test, anglers listen. Over the past few months, Michael has been using the Probe, and after extensive testing, he’s shared his thoughts on how it’s helping him take his fishing to the next level.
“Having tested the probe for a few months, I can safely say that it’s without doubt a great addition to my practice and pleasure fishing.”
That’s high praise from one of the most respected names in feeder fishing — and it perfectly sums up what makes the Probe such an exciting piece of kit.

Precision and Confidence on the Bank
Michael explains how the Probe has become an essential part of his fishing routine.
“It allows me to accurately pinpoint the depth I’m fishing in and confirms the importance of finding the correct depth that fish feed at.”
In feeder fishing, fine margins often make the difference between a good session and a great one. Knowing the exact depth you’re presenting your bait at — and how that might vary across a swim — gives you a real edge. The Probe eliminates the guesswork, allowing anglers to fish with confidence and precision.
More Than Just Temperature
For years, Michael has used temperature readings as part of his watercraft, but as he explains, the Probe takes that understanding to a whole new level.
“For years, I’ve taken temperature readings while fishing, but this probe now allows me to get precise depth readings on my chosen spot as well as at the edges.”
Having both temperature and depth information in one easy-to-use tool gives a far more complete picture of what’s happening beneath the surface. Michael highlights how this can influence tactical decisions — such as where to feed, how to position rigs, and when to adjust your approach during changing conditions.
“For me, this extra piece of information could be invaluable in the long term.”
That insight says it all — the Probe isn’t just about short-term gains; it’s a tool that builds understanding over time, helping anglers develop a deeper knowledge of their venues and fish behaviour.

Embracing the Future of Angling
Perhaps the most powerful part of Michael’s review is his reflection on the role of technology in modern fishing:
“This is taking watercraft to the next level — we can either embrace the technology or be left behind.”
It’s a reminder that the sport is evolving. Today’s top anglers are combining traditional skills with innovative tools to push performance further than ever before. The Probe represents that evolution perfectly — intuitive, precise, and built to give anglers the insights they need to stay ahead.
Whether you’re fine-tuning your match approach or simply looking to make your pleasure sessions more productive, the Probe offers something special. As Michael Buchwalder’s experience shows, this is more than just a gadget — it’s a genuine step forward for serious anglers who want to understand their water like never before.
