Technology Versus Experience

If you have ever wondered if the latest fishing technologies will make you a better fisherman, you are not alone. Fishermen spend thousands of dollars each year to be able to catch more fish and in the end is it really worth it? Current.com investigates by sending a first time fisherman, armed with the latest fishing gadgets, to face off against a seasoned bass fishing pro. Who will emerge victorious? Watch the video to find out!

The bottom line is this: if you want to catch more fish, don’t spend more money, fish more.

Out With The Old, In With The New!

Last week we mentioned that the beautiful Quantum Tour Edition PT was/is on sale for $110 off the regular price, and now we’re going to tell you why. Because its old and busted! The good folks at Tackle Tour have photos of the all new 2009 Tour Edition PT which will hit stores this fall. The new reel looks to be aimed toward the fishing enthusiast, boasting great detail and a carbon fiber handle (and no doubt a hefty price tag). It’s a sharp looking reel no doubt, but personally I prefer the colour of the old model. Have a look for yourself.

We’re big fans of Quantum reels here at Fishing Fury, and the 2009 line looks very promising. Hopefully we can get our hands on some of these quality reels to test out!

Nike Fly Fishing

Nike is probably the most recognizable companies in the world. They started with footwear, and have evolved in to something much bigger. As a kid a dreamed of having Nike shoes, but my parents never had the money to get me a pair. It wasn’t until I was 16 years old, with a job of my own, that I finally got myself a pair - and I loved them. When Nike started making hockey skates they were all the rage, I still dream of having a pair of those white Nike skates that Sergei Federov had. Most people would think that Nike entering the world of fishing is a bad idea, but personally I’d love to see it happen - even if their products are out of my price range.

What do you think, would you buy a Nike fishing reel?

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.

sQuba Video!

The Rinspeed sQuba has finally been revealed. We got our first glimpse of the Squba concept in mid September and we loved it. It’s Lotus styling, zero emission technology and submarine-like abilities make this car truly unique. It’s inspired by the The Bond movie, the Spy Who Loved Me and looks every bit as good as the old counterpart. While the sQuba is a sports car out of water, in the water it leaves a little so be desired. It travels underwater about as fast as I can swim and dives to no more then 33 feet. And forget about using this car unless you know how to scuba dive. On land the batteries will take this car about 100 miles, and underwater you can cruise around all day!

If you would like to buy one of these, good luck, it’s one of a kind right now, and there are no plans to build more unless a third party has some serious cash to contribute.

Despite the cheesy video (seriously, who goes underwater wearing a suit?) I still REALLY want one!
