These next-generation fishing accessories show how technological innovations have influenced the rather straightforward sport of fishing. Gone are the simple days of just baiting your hook, throwing it out into the water and waiting for a fish to come along and bite.
Be it for food or for sport, anglers are able to get even closer to understanding, tracking and ultimately attracting fish towards their boats and onto their lures with the help of these inventive new gadgets.
While a day spent fishing doesn't guarantee you'll go home with biggest fish in the lake, these gadgets will certainly help even the odds of one's outdoor experience. Some standouts include fishing drones, robotic fish bait accessories and even fish-spotting apps.
