World's First Computerized Fishing Pole!

[12VoltMan]

These videos are very well produced; however, I think they would have been better if they actually showed the rods in action. The videos also don't metion the cost or where to buy these rods. I can see how this technology may help a novice fisherman fishing nightcrawlers or doughballs on a rod holder, but I don't think G-Loomis has much desire to invest in battery operated fishing rods. I've always said "there's a lot of gimmics in fishing (remember the flying lure), but there's no gimmic to a sharp hook"! Just my opinion.

A few years ago, Shimano came out with the DC series of reels............and they now have multiple lines that have "digital control" technology on the reel spools that keep you from back lashing. They are basically guaranteed to NOT back lash...

From videos I've seen, you cannot backlash one.......PERIOD.

Here is a link:

Cabela's: Shimano® Calcutta TE® DC Casting Reel

So there is a market for high tech gadgetry in fishing.......With the right manufacturer picking up your digital rod, maybe, just maybe you will become the next megastar in the fishing manufacturing arena.

I sure hope you do.......

Something to think about though.......a quick search of the "technology" brought me to this......

Good luck to you.

The video called where's my rod on youtube shows the product in the field. Due to the winter we will have to wait for it to warm up for more videos in action. If you go to our sponsered page and click on checkout the smartrod here there is much more information as well as pricing.
