Anglr – The FitBit of fishermen

The Anglr Tracker is an activity tracking device for fishing. To use it, just hang it on your fishing rod. Once installed, it will record the reel turns, the number of takes and the position.

Anglr will therefore allow you to find your best fishing areas. Created by Nic Wilson, Landon Bloomer, and TJ Corbett the product has something to seduce. To date, the team has already received $ 1 million in funding from Bluetree Allied Angels. The first team launched an application with some basic functionality. About 6000 users registered in a month. The team also tested their product last summer at Allegheny near Oil City.

The success of the application surprised Nic Wilson. Fishing is a sport with three times as many followers as golf and tennis combined in the United States. There are approximately 46 million licenses sold each year. Said Nic Wilson. "Rather than trying to reach the whole market, we are targeting bass fishermen. 12 million national fishermen make an average of 20 trips per year and who spend more than $ 10 billion on their passion. "

“Every fisherman is interested in the data concerning their last fishing trips. The problem is that nobody wants to keep a logbook in a small notebook to document this information. Using sensors, we automate the collection of this information in a way that does not change normal fishing behavior. Explains Nic Wilson.

To create its prototype, the company works with a manufacturer in Pennsylvania. It provides them with the necessary tools and production tools. For the moment, no price has been given and the date of marketing is not known. If you are a fishing enthusiast, I can only advise you to follow this company.
