The idea is for you to focus on fishing while the Smart Rod Sensor tracks the number of times you cast a line, weather conditions and locations of successful catches and strikes. There's no worry about wet hands: Cyberfishing claims that the Smart Rod Sensor is waterproof. After a day of angling, you sync the Smart Rod Sensor with Cyberfishing's mobile app on your phone.

What I like about Cyberfishing's approach is that it doesn't reimagine the fishing rod. It's a simple and straightforward way to enhance the fishing pole you already have.
