Turning back the clock to change the “experience":

As we go forward the angling technology endlessly improves, in fact it accelerates as well.

Fantastic almost intelligent drag and casting systems, lightning fast reels, indestructible rods with amazing Helen Keller sensitivity, invisible space age material lines, tempered laser sharpened hooks with enhanced hooking designs, strikingly lifelike artificial baits with natural smells and tastes, sonar capable of reading braille on the bottom in 100 feet of water, video, and on……and on……..

It’s amazing any fish still exist……………….. smile.

Wanna try something that is a blast, and also educational:

Go fishing for a few hours with “old” gear. ………. A short 2 piece solid glass metal ferrule bait cast rod, a knuckle duster conventional reel (no drag, no level wind, no free spool, just a clicker), some old school braided line, and a few hooks/sinkers/ bait or a couple vintage lures.

Makes you appreciate things via a different perspective………. And learn real quick on how to fight/land a fish on more balanced terms.

Cheers,
