Yeah definitely screwed then, I would also be worried about rigging it properly so that I don't lose the thing when a big bass hits it hard.

it should have some kind of tether so when the bait comes off the line or a fish swats it away during the fight, you don't lose it.
I wonder who will be the first to use that in the canal

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

All the perils of using Yo Yo rigs which many agree are not quite ethical and create a hazard to the fish when lost.

Ive seen it first hand in action. Pretty wild. We were playing with it dockside. Then followed out in my boat and saw it catch some fish as well.
DZ that was the first thing i said when i got on the boat. " The yoyo activists will LOVE this thing"

for kayak anglers this could be really great so you don't have to deal with a livewell or bait tube, but i use both pretty effectively.
Also - you won't get that rod tip shake that happens when the live bait freaks out before it is engulfed by a big bass, that is a all part of the fun!
Still - not a bad thing to have with you just in case its the only option

Still a few holes in the concept, but interesting nonetheless. I wonder if it'll catch on.

It sort of walks the line between insane and genius. I'm still not sure which side it falls more towards, but it sure is interesting.

A friend whom I disc golf with had told me about this product months ago. He is friends with the product developer. Intriguing but not to the point I will buy it. Yet

Now with the addition of the contaminants of a battery. We have to handle batteries at work as toxic waste, and these guys are promoting feeding them to fish???  |

That could also be said with almost all plugs.
fish with yoyo gear stuck in their guts are all still alive until somebody else kills them and cuts them open

There are those that will go to great extremes to catch a fish, sometimes I just shake my head. Not for me but to each his own.

Like I said earlier, an interesting idea with a few very obvious flaws, and yet, the weekend warriors and dopes that can't catch will be clambering to get their hands on one of these.

It's really intended for tuna fishing.
I can't really see anyone that hard up to catch a Striper that they will spend that kind of money.
Oh, wait...

yeah what's funny is that it effectively has the same action as a plug, you can look at it as a very advanced eel skin plug, but its a mackerel skin!
