Anti Shark Device, Now With Shark Attracting Power

There are a lot of inventions that promise to keep sharks away from humans. Some work, and some don’t. The Shark Shield falls into the latter category.

Great white shark

Shark Shield was invented by the South African Government through the Natal Shark Board, home to some of the sharkiest waters in the world. It is used by the Australian Elite Military, the South African Navy the US Coast Guard and is also approved by NATO.

Shark Shield’s can be used when participating in any ocean activities including surfing, bodyboarding, longboarding, snorkelling, scuba diving, free diving, spear fishing, commercial diving, kayaking, ocean swimming and boating or fishing.

Sounds pretty good doesn’t it? Well it isn’t. After extensive testing in the “sharkiest” waters in the world not only did the device fail to keep sharks away, but it ATTRACTED sharks, including a great white, which proceeded to eat the device.

Dream Reels

At Fishing Fury, we love shiny things as much as fish do - especially shiny reels. As odd as it may sound, it's not only important that our reels function well, but that they look great too. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder when it comes to reels though. Personally I prefer the appearance of a round baitcast reel, where as Jon prefers low profile. One thing with both agree on though, is that if we had the money, we would have a serious collection of pimped out reels. Here’s a list of the reels we wish we had, but probably never will.
