You can monitor up to four Smart Connect reels at a time so you won’t miss another fish nibble while you’re grabbing a cold one from the cooler and you’ll have no more excuses about the one that got away. Priced at $119, you can find more info or buy one from Smartconnectoutdoor.com

Make fishing line knot tying a thing of the past with the LineWelder


Going fishing is supposed to be a relaxing activity, but if you have trouble with finger dexterity or your eyesight, the common task of tying your hook or lure to the fishing line can become an exercise in frustration. One solution to this problem is the Tauten LineWelder which allows you to never need to tie a knot again.

The Tauten LineWelder is a small rechargeable device that uses special cartridges that create a super strong and smooth polymer joint that is stronger than a hand-tied knot.

All you do is string your hook or lure on the fishing line, load the lines into the LineWelder device, and press “GO”, wait 30 seconds and you’ll have a smooth, reliable bond.

The Tauten LineWelder is pretty spendy though. At $199 for the device and $13.95 for a box of extra welding cartridges, only gadget loving fisherman will be willing to try this device. If you’re one of them, then head over to tautensports.com for more info and The Grommet if you want to buy one.

Forget about using a fishing pole, this RC boat will catch your next big one


Fisherman are well known for exaggerating the truth when they telling stories about their fishing adventures, so help make their next fishing story the most epic story ever with the Radio Ranger RC Fishing Boat from Fish Fun Co.

It might look like an ordinary radio remote controlled boat, but it can pull in fish up to 4lbs-5lbs!

The 34-inch long boat has a top speed of about 20 mph and features a 2.4 GHz radio that has a range of about 200-300 feet.

You can navigate the boat with the handheld controller and catch small fish with the included RC fishing pole. You can also use the boat to “drive” the fishing line from your pole out farther than you can cast the line and when a fish hits, the line disconnects so you reel him in.

The Radio Ranger RC Fishing Boat comes with batteries, extra propellers, fishing line, bobber, and a fishing hook. All you need is water and fish.

You can read more about the boat at rcfishingworld.com and you can order one for $99.95 from Amazon.
