Are you interested in learning more about smart fishing rods but aren’t really sure where to start? There’s a lot of information out there, and it can be difficult and confusing trying to locate everything that you want to know before you decide to upgrade and get a smarter fishing rod. Making this upgrade is a big decision and it should be an easy process for you. So, in order to help with this process, here is your guide to smarter fishing rods:

The first part of this guide is discussing what a smart fishing rod actually is. A smart fishing rod is actually a piece of technology that you are able to attach to your existing rod. This device has two strong rubber bands to go onto your rod quickly and easily. It is also extremely lightweight and only weighs nine grams. The device contains an accelerometer and an LED display screen. The device is also waterproof and has a long battery life that can last through a long day on the water while also recording different variables regarding the weather conditions including temperature, wind speed, wind direction, pressure, and precipitation.

So how does this device actually work? The accelerometer inside the device is able to track your casts and the device also monitors the vibrations in your rod for catches. When you catch a fish, you can press a button on the smart rod sensor, and it will log that catch into its system. After a day of fishing, you are able to save and transfer all of the data that was recorded throughout the day into an app on your smartphone. This information is logged in your user profile that you set up, and over time, it will create a visual map that shows you where your best fishing hotspots are based on the locations where you have caught the most fish. The application, which is available in the app stores on both Apple and Android devices, also allows you to log information about the fish you catch, including weight, type, time, and date in addition to uploading pictures from your trip as well.

The data from each trip will be compiled and converted to create a map that shows your best fishing hotspots over time. That way, no matter how far you might drift of course one day due to high wind speeds or strong currents, you can know exactly where your best catches were hooked. You can then return to these locations and hopefully come home with more great catches in the future!  

The last part of this guide entails any potential negative effects that smart fishing might have. Trust me when I say that there really are none! The smart rod sensor is small and light enough to have no effect on your casting and reeling. You don’t have to worry about water damage either since it’s waterproof. And if you are worried about technology ruining your relaxing day on the water – you don’t even have to bring your phone out with you in order for it to work. Just let the sensor do its thing throughout the day and upload the data to your phone when you get back.
