Million $ idea for anyone out there - self winding fishing reel

Really, why doesn't this exist? So tiresome reeling up that line. Who was it that said, "fishing - a worm on one end, a fool on the other end"

BTW- I love fishing, not catching them- just fishing

I would expect so (though never seeing one) for tuna, swordfishing, big trophy fish - But, my local bait shop doesn't seem to carry them for the average fisherman.

Post Script :::: On investigation, I can see that there are a wide variety of them. - Thanks for the info. Going to get me one of them. All my reels are now outdated.
