 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.   
wish you many hook-ups

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
