Has anyone used a HydroWave device? Do they work? Are there pros and cons? I am completely uneducated on these things and wonder if they're too good to be true.

Words are the exercise for the brain. Words are life expressed... without words we die a slow meaningless death. Silence to the grave is no way to go! So live! Use words! Power of the pen is sharper than any sword! Make it so! Mom said don't surround yourself with idiots! Fly higher than the Eagles... and don't run with the turkeys! Deus Vult!

Yay!

What can you tell me about them? Do they work better in certain temps or environments, like grass vs. docks and riprap, etc? Considering it for a Christmas present but want to be sure it's money well spent.

My apologies, I'm at work right now and no time to type.

I think I've see Bill Dance use one on his show before and some of the other guys also.

I know KVD is a big proponent of them but they're also one of his sponsors, so there's that. I've done some research and people seem to be more believers than non-believers in them, so may be worth trying out.

Can using a HydroWave really help you catch more fish?

Bamabass did one on his 300 gal aquarium and it was pretty solid nay imho.  If it cant get a reaction out of 2 bass in 300 gallons of water it aint pulling fish in a lake to me.

Not saying things don't happen when its turned on but who's to say the fish weren't coming to that spot anyway? I have schools show up out of nowhere near my boat numerous times.  ::)

I get my butt kicked every club tourney by a guy that uses one. Eight tourneys and 5 wins, 2 seconds, and a third. I say it works.

He doesn't use senkos. He loves his cranking. That Hydrowave really fires up the fish. He does know how to find them though.
