And you won't need a trailer to get it in and out of the water

Why struggle with wrangling a long fishing pole at the crack of dawn when you can simply troll using a wireless controller?

This is the remote controlled 17 1/2" boat that can catch up to a 2-lb. fish. Pre-rigged tackle—a hook, snap swivel, bobber, and 150' of nylon 2-lb. test line—secures to the boat’s faux engine at the water line. The remote control moves the boat forward, backward, left, and right, enabling you to troll back and forth over a speculative patch of water or position it behind obstacles a conventional cast cannot reach, allowing your preferred bait to settle and tempt hungry fish. When the slip bobber indicates a bite, forward motion sets the hook, and once back near shore, an included 44'-long telescoping grapple fetches the boat from the water along with your catch. Includes two fishing tackle rigs, three extra bobbers, and 30' of line.

Powered by six AA batteries and a 9-volt for the controller, this remote control fishing boat is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for just $70.
