Fishing

With ten thousand Baby Boomers a day turning 65 and having more time for the joys of fishing, Rock Island Equipment Company has introduced Powerfish’n, a new Hybrid Fishing Reel that gives serious anglers a unique choice -- Manual or Automatic.

Like anglers of all ages, every one of the tens of millions of senior and disabled fishing enthusiasts throughout the world has strong opinions -- on the best places to fish, the best equipment to use, the most effective lures and techniques, the best types of fish to catch, even the best times of day to fish. But one thing they all agree on is the benefit of having choices. Now there’s a new choice to that makes “catching the big one again” even more enjoyable and less tiring: manual or automatic. Senior and disabled anglers everywhere are choosing the remarkable new hybrid fishing reel that gives them that choice.

The PowerFish’nTM Pro from Rock Island Equipment Company is the first in a new line of hybrid reels for fresh water fishing. The PowerFish’n Pro features a traditional Shakespeare spinning reel fitted with a strong, quiet, electric motor to enhance the fishing experience. It gives users the choice between manually hand-cranking the line in or retrieving it automatically with the touch of a switch. Users can now fish longer without getting arm or shoulder fatigue, have more options and techniques for trolling, bass fishing, ice fishing and generally enjoy their fishing experience even more.
