No camera, no built in brag mat, pretty useless
How long before self baiting hooks, self casting rods, self landing rods.
Fishing line that ties it's own knot. Hooks that release the fish after the rod has photographed, weighed & measured it.
Take your driverless electric car to a man-made lake, temperature controlled and stocked with virtual fish.

Only matter of time.

Probably they will make virtual reality injected into the brain making us thinking we're fishing but we're not! And actually sitting on a couch.

if you guys dont know what AFTA is , its the Australian Fishing Trade Association
every year theres an expo of NEW products that are going to be released into the australian market by various companies. only people who are involved in the association, delaers, retailers and similar are allowed in, this year however they are opening it to the public.
