Virtual Fishing in Japan

Ever been in Tokyo and just wanted to take a break from the urban surroundings and go fishing? Well now you can…..sort of. Tomy is releasing a product called the “Virtual Masters Reel” which will retail for 6,279 yen.  The thing that makes this product unique is that you can actually feel the fish biting and fighting with you. It also features a built in camera that turns any location into a realistic lakeside fishing spot. You can go fishing in your office, on the street and even in the train station while waiting for your train.

Now I find it hard to believe it will  feel realistic reeling in a fish, but for someone who just can’t make it out to the water, this is probably the next best thing.
