Distance capability for those contraptions is wildly exaggerated.
Logistics are a pain . . . You need to keep the bait/sinker 'cartridge' frozen solid so you either need a freezer or dry ice for fishing a tide.
Bait choices are limited to what you put up earlier in the freezer . . . How many do you bring and waste if they thaw out even a little bit?
For what they cost you could buy a high performance distance fishing set up and exceed what that Rube Goldberg can do (with practice of course).
