That’s what most of us dinosaurs did by keeping extensive fishing logs for decades. All for the cost of a #2 Fort Ticonderoga pencil.
I despise having to even take my work phone on the water let alone this wizardry.

Nek minute.
Pre programmable reel casting and retrieval sequences, live fibar* communication between reel, line and rod to lure to achieve optimal lure wiggle and pause manoeuvres.
There's a app Anglr that's been out for a few years already, surprised no-one has taken hold of that?

Re: Do you plan on buying the iPhone of reels aka the Z Limitbreaker?
Oh but i would like that as well, but do i want my reel to cost 125k jpy? I don't. Give me new braking tech, its about time Daiwa comes out with their DC, but the price needs to be reasonable cuz the current msrp is not.zalan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 1:29 amIt is interesting that we can be so different.

If this reel becomes successful, smart reels could become much more widespread and popular. Could be the next real innovation and it would be much more than a breaking system.

Price will need to come down for sure to be considered by many. This is the first reel of it's kind, so no surprise it is expensive.SSS wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 2:47 pmOh but i would like that as well, but do i want my reel to cost 125k jpy? I don't.

Actually first one computerized Daiwa baitcaster was in 1984, and yes, if I remember correct, it was expensive:

Sorry, I gotta throw the old man card. This is where I get off the ride. I mean, how much help casting do we really need?
How are they gonna hide the USB port on a lure?

It's neat but not worth the $$$ to me but I hope it does mean the z2020 making a comeback as I need plat to get parts in stock so the tackle trap can get mine back rolling to go alongside my deps one.

Drop your gear set and walk away and no one gets hurt.
