Everything You Need to Know About the Smart Fishing Rod
Have you heard about the new smart fishing rod but are wondering what it really is, what it’s about, and whether it really works? So many aspects of our world have been transformed by technology — we use GPS navigation on Google Maps instead of printing out directions from MapQuest, we communicate instantly through email and texts instead of snail mail, and we have great quality cameras built into our phones instead of using those old point and shoot cameras where you can’t know if you got a good picture until way later when you get the pictures developed. The smart fishing rod is just an extension of the technology that we have already incorporated into our everyday lives. So, here is everything you need to know about the smart fishing rod!
Attach It and Forget It
Many fishermen might be hesitant about the smart fishing rod because fishing is seen as a great way to disconnect from our crazy world — why would they want to bring technology into that? Plus, they might worry that attaching the device will impact their rod and casting techniques. In reality, the smart fishing senor is extremely lightweight and in no way will impact the functionality of your rod. You can cast and reel just like you would otherwise! And the good news about the smart fishing rod is that you can attach it and forget about it as you fish — all the data from it will automatically be uploaded into an application on your smartphone. So, you don’t necessarily have to worry about being completely attached to your phone while you are on the water — you can go back to review the data later.
Features
So now you’re probably wondering what exactly the smart fishing rod does that makes it so smart. It counts your casts, locates your casts, locates your catches, and tracks the weather conditions. Once you are done, it builds a visual map of all your catches so that you can see where your hotspots are. The smart sensor is totally waterproof so that you don’t have to worry about keeping it dry in wet conditions. It also has a long battery life so you don’t have to worry about it dying in the middle of a fishing trip — the battery can easily handle long days on the water! And when it is time to charge it, it has a magnetic charger that attaches easily to the device to ensure a quick charge.
The Application
What really makes the smart rod smart is that it is able to export all of your fishing data to an application on your smartphone via Bluetooth. The app is available for both iPhones and Android. Your data is then sent and stored into your specific user profile in the portal. You can then access this data at any time and easily view your map so you can return back to your best spots. The app also allows you to share this data with customers to make their experiences better as well!
