    Do the fish stand a chance?

    Since there had been a lull in postings lately, I figured I'd throw a topic out there. If you respond, please list one "new" technology that has made fishing more efficient for anglers, but tougher on the fish. Successful fishing still requires a degree of finesse, but with all the "improvements" in technology, do fish really stand a chance? One item per response please.

    Of course the modern metal alloys have pushed the design limits beyond the imagination of even older present day anglers.
