Love to fish? Bored with the old bait and tackle? Not ready to go all the way to dynamite? Try the Powerline!

I’m not a fisherman, but it seems to me that, unless you’re fishing for your livelihood, using anything more than a rod, a reel, a hook and a worm would be cheating. Like hunting a deer with an RPG. This thing (from the comic in yesterday’s Ty Cobb extravaganza), which sounds like the water equivalent of a heat-seeking missile, would be a bit much.

Fishing aficionado Spider-Man would not be amused.
