• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Do we really need this?

Smart Connect Gold Series Spinning Reel with Bluetooth Frees Your Hands While Fishing

Tackobox has developed a smart reel that can help you bring in even the most cunning of adversaries. The Tackobox Smart Connect Gold Series Fishing Reel uses sensors to detect any nibbles at your bait. When the sensors are tripped, the reel sends a message to your smartphone, letting you know it’s time to haul in your catch. The reel is rechargeable via a USB connection and has 40-hour battery life.

Well, I don't need it, because I don't fish. However, from what I understand about fishing a major element of it is relaxation. This device seems contrary to that ethos. For one thing you are out fishing, surely, to get away from phones.
The only benefit I could see would be for those fishermen who are only interested competitively in catching more fish. You might as well automate the system entirely and relay footage and reel tension data to your laptop, so you can watch your fishing success from home.
