Using rare underwater footage that Charlie has compiled over many years of fish behavioral research, a variety of fishing simulations have been created including Sailfish, Salmon, Trout, Marlin, Walleye, Tarpon and Large and Small Mouth Bass. A video of the strike and fight of a trophy fish plays on your TV while you hold a professional rod and reel, with the line going into the Simulator. A motor receives power signals from the computer program that result in fish play on the line entirely synchronized with the action on the screen. The line pulls, jerks and screams out duplicating the underwater strike, explosive runs, jumps and head shaking action of catching a real fish. An advanced digital scoring system accurately measures each player's skill.
Poor technique can result in the fish being lost.
The Simulator can be set to either light or heavy tackle depending upon the type of fish and the participant's skill level. People of all ages, from novice to seasoned fisherman, feel exhilarated by this high impact event that is not just a video game but, also, a spectator sport. The International Game Fish Association has installed 5 Sportfishin' Simulators as the feature attraction at the World Fishing Center in Dania, Florida. Consistently voted the number one crowd pleaser wherever it appears, the Sportfishin' Simulator is so realistic that you'll be shouting for the landing net. We are building an international network of Distributors to represent the Sportfishin' Simulator and other innovative products in regions throughout the world.
