Edward Hope is the one behind what he calls the “world’s first and only computerized fishing pole using Computer Controlled Accelerometer Technology.” Right now, they have collected half a grand out of the $50,000 required to bring this project to life, and you might want to offer them some financial support if you believe in their idea.
Basically, the Smartrod will inform you whenever you get a bite via an audio or visual alert, and turn off the alert when you reel in the fish so that your fishing experience will not be interfered with. There is a digital readout for High Med or Low sensitivity settings.
