What is it?
Bass Pro Shops’ The Strike video game for the Wii.
What does it do?
It brings the lake into your living room so you don’t freeze this winter.
Why do I need it?
Because it’s freezing outside, and you’ve got a better chance of “hooking” a bass in the game than in real life.
How do I use it?
You can cast, retrieve, set the hook and yes, even break off. Like in real life, you may boat a fish from time to time. The rod controller reacts to the game as you play.
What sets it apart?
It’s a game where you actually “cast” plugs and fight fish without the backlashes! You can choose among 12 of America’s best bass lakes and two mystery lakes. You can scout and pre-fish then take on other competitors in a tournament.
How much?
$29.99 for just the game, and $49.99 for the bundle which includes a fishing rod controller.
