About This Work

The WakiWaki Controller is an innovative fishing device that pairs a wirelessly controlled float, equipped with a screw propeller, with a dedicated controller, so anglers can actively steer the float themselves. By operating the controller with the left hand to adjust the float’s direction and movement while reeling normally with the right, anglers can control both the rod and the float at the same time. The float can be finely positioned at the desired spot, reducing the effects of wind and current and enabling intuitive, targeted fishing. Easy for beginners to position and enjoyable for experienced anglers who like strategic fishing, this device transforms fishing from “waiting” to “actively controlling.”
