Pool thermometer on a rope?

I smell a spambot about to drop a link to a product

Aw salmotrutta that's not a nice way to try a newbie to this site, honest man, I can't afford an expensive fish finder or down rigger ball with temp gauge built in, I thought there might be an electronic out there that gives u a digital reading as you drop it down, when you hit your desired temp in this case I'm told 48-52 deg and you have you depth you can vertical jig or estimate the depth you need to fish your baits at, I'm not sure a pool therm would work cause it would change temp by the time you got it back up
Anyway guys thanks for,your help

Still thinking spambot lol

Spambots have feelings too, or at least they purport to

What lakes are you thinking about ( backwoods? big water? ) and what season are you fishing for lakers?

Halliburton area and mainly spring or summer when the water warms up thx

As far as I know nothing exists other than cannon ball thermostats.

Sounds like an interesting idea, digital thermometer (something that connects to your phone perhaps)

Clip on fish-hawk? 100$ or so... clip on to a spare rod with a couple ounces of weight (maybe by an inline line counter to make the job easier)

Just spitballin
