Very interesting and would be fun to try or see in action
But I'll stick to my jaw jackers and using an unbalanced chair tipping in the wind, for that price

Might as well just sit on your a$$ at your computer and keep playing pro Pilki 2. What a waste of 400$.

Seems like something fun to mess around with, and I can see the potential use if you're using multiple set ups while you jig on your own. However $400 seems pretty steep.

You could probably hire an illegal alien to fish for you for that price.
With more advantages, such as pulling all your gear to your favorite spot, drilling holes, skimming holes, telling you when you caught a fish, and of course getting you a cold beer.

Yeah, that takes the fun out of ice fishing. Since I still have use of my hands I think I will stick with the old school ice fishing method of jigging  ;D

I wonder what it does when a fiesty northern or big walleye rips into it when you aren't right there close to it

What, you mean it doesn't het the hook, reel it in, measure it and than tell your friends it was a "monster"???

Might be better suited for a little tug & pull session if they could attach a robot hand to it... ::)

Imagine throwing $400 - $500 away for one of these gizmos, and you STILL have to set the hook and reel in the fish yourself?

Unlike the old adage of "Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door", this is not a better method, only a way for someone with leftover obsolete robotic pieces to get rid of their crap and make some money in the process.

Who is the manufacturer...RONCO??? ;D

Post by: BK_Fisherman on Dec 09, 2016, 10:14 PM
I agree....takes away the whole point of fishing in the first place.....May as well just go buy a few fillets from the supermarket.

Right?!

Curious concept, I suppose. Different strokes for different folks.

 this conversation is so funny I thought they had to chip in and give my two cents worth. First of all I'll start by saying that I won't own one of these mainly because it's crazy expensive and secondly because I like to feel the bite and set the hook on my own fish.  Because I like to feel the bite and set the hook I don't use a jaw Jacker or other sort of automatic fisherman but to me this is just a jawjacker on steroids.  The jaw jacked sets the hook for you and holds the fish until you get over.  This does the same thing except it actually jigs it for you which should increase your productivity. Even though I don't use one, a jaw Jacker can be very effective especially when fishing multiple lines. So again, I won't buy one of these but other than the extreme price point I don't understand why people are so against it if they're willing to use a jaw Jacker.

I fished with people who have them, didn't change anything for us on the ice.  If there were a fish down there, it still didn't bite.  Just added frustration.  Plus the element of surprise is a great rush.  I guess I'm too old school.

They make a similar device for trolling with a release that some use on there lead core , ,  For this application I can find a better way to spend my money , plus I can change depth and jig stroke in a split second , plus I already drag more stuff out than is really  necessary  JMO , I to am old school
