Thread: Do the fish stand a chance?

Since there had been a lull in postings lately, I figured I'd throw a topic out there. If you respond, please list one "new" technology that has made fishing more efficient for anglers, but tougher on the fish. Successful fishing still requires a degree of finesse, but with all the "improvements" in technology, do fish really stand a chance? One item per response please.

I’ll have to think about that one while I go check my Fads😎

Spot lock trolling motors

4 stroke outboard with high horsepower

side scan sonar

Braid line

Circle hooks

(ice) fishing cameras (which will probably soon be coming to a pier piling near you)

Actually circle hooks are one of the oldest designs of fishing hooks known with some archaic finds predating written history.
Of course the modern metal alloys have pushed the design limits beyond the imagination of even older present day anglers.
