Fishing! Gadgets that you can take with you to the river

    Fishing gadgets are a very specific niche, because the hobby is very “conservative”. Many don't go fishing for fish - there is a shop for this. And, nevertheless, something interesting in this category is being created. Let's look at some inventions.



    Probably the most popular fishing gadget would be an echo sounder. The number of devices is estimated in dozens, and very large brands are noticed in the creation, take at least Garmin.

    Of the smart echo sounders (those that are synchronized with the smartphone), Deeper products are the most famous .

    A successful acquisition will be the younger model, which costs about 10,000 . The miniature echo sounder has a high autonomy - up to two days of fishing, has a stable Bluetooth signal at a distance of up to 40 meters and is universal for summer and winter fishing.



    The main task that he solves: the analysis of the relief of the reservoir and the demonstration of the presence of fish. At the same time, he does not need additional remote screens - Deeper works in tandem with the proprietary application.

    Another interesting project on the same topic that deserves attention is the echo sounder-clock. The smartphone is certainly convenient, always near, but in some moments even its dimensions can become a hindrance.

    With this in mind, Humminbird introduced the SmartCast RF35 , a watch that seems to be difficult to access now.


    They worked in tandem with a locator, and all the necessary information: in our case - the presence of fish - was displayed on a simple digital display. At the same time, both hands remained free and there was no need for additional distractions.

    The problem of "visualization of fish places" can be solved in different ways. In this regard, they came up with special cameras, one of which, the so-called “Fishing Camera”, spread all over the world and even reached Aliexpress.

    In the "classic" form, it is on Ebay, for example. It costs about a hundred dollars.

    The kit consists of two parts: a small display that can be fixed directly to the bait, and a camera in the form of a “trimmed” float, which is mounted above the hook.

    With a similar initiative last year, a team of domestic developers made a speech: in April 2016 a Kaystarter float appeared with the camera Fishing FanCam .



    Unfortunately, at what stage this project is now unknown. But its main advantage can be called the fact that the camera did not become an extra element. Well float and float. And with or without a camera - that’s what happened. Anglr

    Fisher Tracker is one of the strangest devices. On the other hand, there are trackers for swimming, for golf, football, for boxing ... Fishing is also a sport, why not make a tracker for fishing?



    The device does not help to catch fish, but it will record throws and “achievements” of the fisherman, keeping the data in the smartphone: where they left the bait, where they caught it, and will help to make a very accurate map of fishing success.

    As an alternative to echo sounders, cameras that help find out where the fish are, for very lazy fishermen, smart lures were offered. The logic is: why look for a fish place, if you can call the fish. One such project was on Kickstarter - Fish Call.



    The gadget was thrown into the water and imitated the vibration and other signals that were supposed (God, how it works) to remind the fish the natural sounds of the feeding process. The fish had to go to the call and - ha ha, got caught!

    Well, if these guys didn’t really explain anything, then we’ll go to science. In fact, many years of research have been devoted to smart bait, and first of all you should start with the BioPulse project .


    The idea of ​​creation belongs to the doctor of biological sciences, who devoted three decades to the study of fish sensory systems. As a result, he developed the bait, which acts as a stimulus to the nervous system of the fish, activating (God, how it works) the taste patches, and the fish can no longer swallow the bait. The article referenced above has an email address to which questions can be sent. Project sites are currently not working.

    Another device from the series for the lazy " boat-fishing rod ." Indeed, why swim or go along the coast itself, when you can control a miniature boat.



    The boat is equipped with the necessary baits, and you will only have to use the remote to drive it away to the place where you think there is a fish, and then drive it back.

    Own cozy pier called Corian , this is a concept for those who live on the river bank. Such a device, you can probably assemble yourself.


    The main convenience is in the back. And also, when the fisherman sits on this chair, a light bulb lights up in the underwater part, the light of which attracts the fish.

    Where are without smart fishing rods. Last year they even wrote about one of them on GeekTimes, however, the fate of the project being described is foggy.

    The SmartRod developers were among the first to offer a smart bait. By the way, only 54 dollars. The main task of such a fishing rod is to pinpoint the bite, excluding “false” flinches, for which the rod is equipped with several sensitive sensors.


    And, in the final, a special infrared thermometer that does not scare the fish. He was introduced by William Joseph.



    The gadget must be brought to the surface of the water, and it will instantly show the temperature. Why can not use any other infrared thermometer, the company does not specify.
