We’ve seen all sorts of assistive devices designed to help disabled people do ordinary things that the rest of us take for granted. Somehow we managed to miss Ken’s Power Caster, a fishing accessory for wheelchairs that’s been on the market for a few years. The caster can be operated via push buttons or with a chin joystick or a sip & puff controller.
The device basically snaps to the wheelchair, then connected to a power source, and can be rotated in the desired direction to automatically launch the lure. There are also options that allow for additional movements to help get the big one, and the system will reel in the fish once it is hooked.
