Love it or hate it, fishing tech and gadgets are here to stay! There have been some major advancements in tech over the last few years, fish finders and echo sounders, battery packs, and camera accessories, not to mention bait boats with GPS and autopilot. Here at TFT, we have a wide range of gadgetry at all price points, each item designed to help you catch more fish or make your stay more comfortable on the bank. Check out our top three tech items below!
IS TECH CHEATING?
This question can be answered with a very simple analogy - are bite alarms tech? Yes, of course, they are. They are packed with electronics and fancy gizmos. So, are bite alarms cheating? No, they have evolved over time, but their purpose is to allow the angler to not have to stare at their rods for the entire duration of their session. They also allow the angler to rest and get some rejuvenating sleep; this, in turn, helps the angler stay alert and be able to function more effectively. Imagine doing an overnight session between work, but you have to stay awake all night! You would soon be out of a job! With the help of the team here at TFT, we have listed three of the most popular items of tech, and as always, there has to be a winner. Keep reading to find out which product our team simply cannot be without!
PRODUCT INFORMATION
First up is the Wolf Mozzi Zappa. There are three different designs with plain black, black camo and a more standard shade of camo. There is nothing worse than laying in the sleep system and hearing that high-pitched buzz that warns you of an impending mozi attack! I'll let Wolf explain the tech side of things - 'The Battery Mosquito Killer Lamp has the function of lighting and mosquito killing. Our design optimises the lamp structure to ensure that the light distribution curve of the LED is comparable to that of a filament bulb. The lamp offers efficient LED technology combined with the styling of the classic filament bulb. The blue light with a special wavelength attracts insects to the high voltage grid leading to the death of the insect by electric shock 8OOV. The insect bodies will fall down through the inner space of the lamp, and the dead insects can be brushed away.'
Next up is the Deeper Chirp+2 in limited edition yellow. Unless you have been hiding under a rock, it is almost impossible to have not seen a Deeper sounder before. They are a castable echo sounder and fish finder that can be cast into the lake and slowly retrieved to map out the swims contours. A signal is sent back to your phone, and by using the Deeper App, you'll know the underwater topography of your swim in no time.
Lastly is the Powapacs Ion Pro + Solar Panel Charger. Being on the bank doesn't mean you have to live like Bear Grylls; you can still enjoy relative comfort and access to the outside world. Having a phone is handy in an emergency, but others like to utilise iPads, laptops, cameras and even drones. All this tech needs charging, and the battery pack also needs charging on long sessions. This is where the solar panel charger comes into its own, allowing you to top up the battery pack in the hours of daylight.
As mentioned before, there needs to be a winner, and we have awarded the top spot to the Powapacs Ion Pro + Solar Panel Charger! Read the key features below, and don't forget, all three items and loads more are available at the TFT website using the links provided.
