I guess I'm another one who likes mine and has seen a difference by using it. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I have never "zeroed" since I put one on my boat. I will just start on one of the settings I like on a low volume, then keep switching until I can see a noticeable difference. Once the bite stops, I just switch settings again or make it louder and watch them turn back on. I think a lot of people that weren't impressed with it didn't play with it enough to get it figured out. Just my .02

I wouldn't fish without one after seeing what mine has done. I'm also not affiliated with Hydrowave in any way (I think TH Marine bought them out by the way)

I have one and feel it does activate the fish as said above. The folks that work with Hydrowave are great. John will go out of his way to support you as he has me.

I have the original Hydrowave and use it every time I go out. I fish for bass and crappie. I have seen schools of shad come to the boat and follow it down the lake.

When crappie fishing brush piles I use the Passive Shad setting on continuous and the volume is turned up to 3/4. The longer I sit there the bigger the crappie are.

I use side imaging as well. Between these two products they have improved my catch rate substantially.

Speaker is around $30, I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try.

Well, I think I'm going to give it a shot. Good or bad I'll post a review. Can't be any worse than all the useless tackle I bought because somebody else caught fish with it.

Hey Agg I have a hydrowave head unit with about 10 hrs on it, I'd be willing to part with for $100 obo.
Had to sell the boat and took off all the electronics.

is it the new model or the original? Would you take $75

Huckleberry if you don't want that hydrowave and want to get rid of it id sure take it off your hands.

Thanks for the support and the comments on the units. I like hearing the good and the bad that is the only way we can get better. I will clear one thing up KVD and Kriet were actually Part Owners of HydroWave until the sale of the company and were not sponsored by us. I have been with HydroWave a while now even before the sale to TH Marine and have seen the good and the bad with it. I will stand behind the product and will always do my very best to make sure that each and everyone of you gets taken care of. My cell number is below and will be more than happy to talk to anyone about anything HydroWave.

I've had one for several years now and can say that I have not noticed any difference in my catch rate or increasing fish/bait activity around my boat when it is on. I run mine out of habit not confidence. I do think it covers up some of the boat noise but I haven't seen any proof that it will activate fish.

I don't have my Hydrowave up and running yet, waiting for the speaker to get here which will be tomorrow, but I will get it running and leave an honest review as soon as I give it a chance. What I will say is from my personal experience, John Braig is a stand up guy who whole heartedly believes in his product and will do any and everything to see that his customers are satisfied, answer any questions you have about the product and make sure that it operating properly. Not saying I believe in the product yet, but I believe and trust in John and plan to give the Hydrowave a chance. This is a minor expense compared to the thousands of worthless lures I've bought that were GUARANTEED to catch fish. I think the name Hydrowave does not accurately describe the product and a more suitable name could be used which at this point might be a detrimental instead of promoting it. I'm not a professional so experimentation with the product will take time but I am going to give it every chance to perform. I think the Hydrowave is in better hands now with TH Marine and anglers everywhere will see a marked improvement in the performance of the product. Thanks John for your commitment to Hydrowave. I believe in you.

If Gene Eisenmann is still with the company then I'd not trust any of them any further than I could throw them. Gene lied directly to my face about the product. I have witnesses to the lie.

I also found out that the company was unable to ship in-stock product within four days when they claimed all orders were shipped within 48 hours.

That's a pile of lies that totally turned me off of the product.

I like to do a lot of Bass fishing at night during the summer months under dock lights. When I have my Hydrowave on I've had Catfish swim right up to the head of my trolling motor (within a foot of it) and just stare at it like they're trying to figure out if they should try to eat it or what it is. I've never seen anything like it in my entire life. I've never seen any big ones all of them have been less than 2 lbs. But up until I added the Hydrowave I had never had this happen and it happens about 50% of the time I go now no matter the lake.

I think Hydrowave is now in the best possible hands and TH Marine will improve the product, make it more user friendly and now they have a company rep who understands the product and will support customers who use it. Like the first level wind reel I ever had it takes a while to learn how to use it.

OH! My bad.... I didn't know you were interested in who was in the best possible hands, or will improve the product, or is it more user friendly, company reps who understand a product and customer support. I thought you wanted to know if a device worked or not. It sounds like to me you already had your mind made up long before you even used one and was looking for justification on how you spent your money.......not unlike so many others in your same position. Good luck.
