This would be an enhancement to current fishing reels for amateur fisherman. A second handle on the reel would pull back a spring that was built into the underside of the pole. A small rod attached near the hook (maybe replacing the weight) would slide down the shaft that the spring is in. Once it
was loaded you'd just point and click sending the hook exactly where you want it. This would also keep amateurs from accidentally hooking the people around them when casting the traditional way.

Interesting. I've played with this some before, but it was for range, not accuracy, since with a little practice I can put it more or less where I want it. |

Depending on what you're fishing for, you'd have issues with the crossbow bolt scaring your intended prey or interfering with the presentation of the bait. Might need to explore mechanisms that allow the bolt to seperate at different points in the trajectory. |

An appropriate idea, considering your username. |

I used to go crossbow fishing but I never caught any crossbows. They must be all fished out around here. |

I've been bowfishing, but never with a crossbow. |

Take a look at the long casting techniques used by sturgeon fishermen on the Columbia River. They use a giant slingshot to launch a 1/2lb weight about 1/4mile, to get their hook out into the water where the fish are. |

Saw this idea this morning, sat down to watch TV and saw a commercial for the thing in Dr. Cs Link. How weird. |
