this is an interesting discussion with some definitive high and low points for sure ...but ...
i will wait for the underwater remote control drone version with the harpoon ,
i would much rather spear the fish i chase with my electronics .
one thing for certain jig colors wouldnt matter very much
and think of the money you would save on rods and reels
no more braid or mono discussions either
and the length of your rod would be of zero interest as well .
think of the narrow learning curve on the up under docks .
if you could drive it well and not hit the dock you could clean out some older guys brush pile quick.
heck the unit i want is the smartphone app one ...
where i could go to work and just spear a few from my desk .
wouldnt that be great yawl ,who cares if it raining or cold or hot or windy outside .
just drop by the water , toss out the drone and on your way .
no more boat ramps or boats or gasoline damaging the ecosystem .
i love technology ......
