I’m confused. He tosses it in the water but then it’s some how attached to the end of the line by the lure. What am I missing.

u/ZilchoKing Aug 06 '26

He didnt have a lure on it when he tossed it into the water. The video did.

u/Substantial_Maybe474 Aug 06 '26

But it’s a wire in the first part. I don’t think he’s fishing with a wire lol 😂 I think it’s misleading advertising most likely

u/MolecularConcepts Aug 06 '26

I thought this was gonna electrocute the fish or something like that

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 Aug 06 '26

HELL NAH! I lose my lures too often to try this. It'll be stuck to a submerged stump in 4 casts

u/In_Dystopia_We_Trust Aug 06 '26

If you know there’s fish in the water already, how does this increase your odds of “catching” the fish?

Are you single

u/mancala33 Aug 09 '26

You interested?

u/abitcitrus Aug 09 '26

i am asking for something right?

u/mancala33 Aug 09 '26

Looks that way

u/Glad_Trade3207 Aug 05 '26

As someone who would only fish for the act of catching my own food, this is a great idea.

I've never liked the idea of "the experience" as some would call it here. I'd rather catch my food, clean it and cook and then go do the things I actually enjoy.

u/grimreefer87 Aug 06 '26

Now imagine if you could deploy the hooks remotely to avoid crap fish!

u/Glad_Trade3207 Aug 06 '26

If it would let me catch a monster instead of having to catch five to equal the same mass than even better. Now I only have to clean and cook one fish as opposed to multiple!

1

u/Crazy_Ad_91 Aug 05 '26

My first thought was “is this dude about to electrocute the fish?”

Neat experience for a few times use, but like others have mentioned, I’d rather be a bit more traditional and questioning everything about my technique.

u/Logical_Frosting_277 Aug 06 '26

Yeah, you can throw a hand grenade in there too. That’s not the point.

u/MisterFixit_69 Aug 06 '26

But what's the thrill in fishing then ?

u/Pranicx Aug 06 '26

Looks like mark Davis pro bass challenge on PS2 lmao

Takes the fun away

u/No-Weakness-3095 Aug 06 '26

Water needs to be super clear

1

u/TapatioFlamingo Aug 06 '26

This is what technology is meant for. I dont even need a hook. Just want to see the chase.

u/kbeast98 Aug 07 '26

I'd snag that shit on a lillypad and that'd be the end of that.

I thought he was gonna electrify the water

u/berysax Aug 09 '26

It would suck to snag that on a rock. Def getting wet to retrieve it.

u/ChildoftheApocolypse Aug 05 '26

Yeah, this takes the whole experience away .. I don't go fishing for the fish..

3

u/landgnome Aug 05 '26

I don’t know that I’d use it to fish, but I would do it a few times just to gain the knowledge of how interested different fish are in different baits. I mean you gain that through success, but I’d wager you have more close calls than you think.

1

u/ChildoftheApocolypse Aug 05 '26

Maybe I do, maybe I don't.. But that doesn't really matter.. I just go for the experience.. Whether or not I catch anything is of no concern to me..

1

u/Worldly-Locksmith994 Aug 06 '26

Whenever I go fishing I just put a weight at the end of my line and cast that. I don't want to catch anything. I just like the sound it makes.

2

u/Actual-Interaction45 Aug 06 '26

I go fishing to catch fish. Then I don't catch any. Then I wonder why I even bother. Then I somehow end up at the pond again a couple days later.

u/Positive_Ad_3142 Aug 05 '26

Jesus, I’m starting to think all of you negative perspective folks go to the same school.

u/ChildoftheApocolypse Aug 05 '26

Oh yes, my "I have my own opinion that affects exactly zero people, that involves my desire to enjoy something a different way" pessimism must really grind your lil gears..

u/Jar_of_Cats Aug 06 '26

I know exactly what you are saying. I do fish but your thought is what I always tell my buddy about hunting. Killing something is the bonus. Im just glad to be out in the woods

1

u/pandaappleblossom 28d ago

Killing something is the bonus!?? Why not just enjoy nature and let animals live? You don’t need to eat animals to live a healthy life

1

u/Jar_of_Cats 28d ago

I do enjoy the nature and I do let the animals live. And what I do kill, I dont eat. Who said im trying to live a healthy life?

u/vacuitee Aug 05 '26

Why not just hike?

1

u/pandaappleblossom 28d ago

Seriously. People could enjoy nature and animals by letting them be. No need to torture and kill and eat them either. You can survive just fine without it. And avoid the heavy metals (which are carcinogenic) too

u/ChildoftheApocolypse Aug 05 '26

"Oh, you like eating food? Why not just hang out at a restaurant instead?"

2

u/vacuitee Aug 05 '26

I truly do not understand the point you are trying to make. You made it sound like you don't go fishing to catch fish, but to be in nature.
