I liked mine so much I sold it after a season. I think it works some of the time, but it's definitely not magical. I did witness it get the shad stirred up on a few occasions and got a few more aggressive bites when I was already on active fish. I asked Mike Iaconelli at a Bass University Session if they really worked and he said they work 20% of the time. 20% is a nice boost to have.

Some swear by it and others laugh at it. I think it might be a good tool to have but I get much more use out of the new rod I bought when I sold it.
