i got both the rapala and sega bass games for christmas
rapala generally is a terrible game. The fish striking causes the screen to blur, and the graphics are as a geneal rule terrible. fishing for every species under the sun is fun, and the competitions can get addictive. Fishing for the biggest crappie is a good time.
Sega bass is a better game, with a wide variety of lures to use and a lot of different settings/competitions to join in. The lures that work in each setting/time of day/ weather conditions don't seem to have any basis in reality, though. In each case there is a best lure to use, and i think sega just chose them arbitrarily. for instance, nightime in the summer, IME, is prime top-water time, right? not so much in all the different sega settings. Watching the fish strike is pretty awesome, though, at least compared to the rapala version.
As novelties, both are pretty cool, beats wishing you were fishing on a rainy day or when babysitting your nephew. but all in all, i wouldn't expect too much out of either.
