The Nintendo Wii is barely a year old, but must surely be on its way to earning the accolade of the videogaming hardware supplied with the most pointless accessories and peripherals of all time. Helping to over-egg the pudding this week is Dragon Electronics' Fishing Rod Advance.

For $10 USD you'll receive a metre-long piece of plastic, a tiny fish and some rope, all of which can be attached to the Wii Remote for the ultimate angling experience in your living room.

Next week: the Wii shovel, perfect for Harvest Moon.
