OK so I was at Bass Pro this afternoon and got a good look at a Hydrowave and am wandering what do all the fine folks on the fishing forum thing about this thing they are calling the Hydrowave?

Would you buy it ?
lets hear it from you all. As always thanks for the input.

Hit your search button. There has been alot on here.

I look at three good reasons why I am primarily thinking of buying one this weekend:

1. I know a LOT of really good anglers that have paid retail for one and talk about seeing a real difference in catch rates when they use it. These are no pro staff guys and some pretty strong local sticks taht have had plenty of success without it and have nothing to gain by promoting it.
2. You don't see any in the classifieds sections of fishing forums. If it was a gimmick you swould see guys unloading them.
3. If nothing else I think it will mask the sound of my trolling motor and sonar ping.

Man... you sure could be right didn't think about all that.

I have done a little reserach and purposely held off buying one till I saw some feedback and some kind of track record. My logic might be flawed but I am almost at the point of buying one. They are actually installing them free if you buy one at the Fun N Sun Boat Show this weekend.

Have you heard anyone who has one bad mouth it or say it does not work. Those that have it have already seen what difference they can make sometimes, all the time? probably not but I have seen some crazy stuff by having it, and go on flat out catching sprees once you get it dialed in to what the fish want. Just another tool to increase catches, blows my mind what it has done the last month or two since I had it.

Guess I need to pull the boat to fun n sun tomorrow, just saw KVD on WFN and he said he does not fish with out one.

Met him today at the KC sport show and he was explaining it to some people. He's a pretty nice guy.

I talked to the Hydrowave guys at the show today and would also casually notice how they talked with other visitors and one thing I was impressed by is no hard selling. They simply answer your questions and tell you about the product but they are not hyping it up in a gimmicky way at all.

I bought mine as a self Christmas present and have used it several times and I believe it is time to endorse it. Before I got it, I had been skunked on Falcon 3 times this year. Since I've been using it I have caught at least some bass. This last Wednesday morning, my wife and I tore 'em up. We found them in 3' of water by flipping brush hogs in the larger trees in the brush. When I would turn the HW off, about 5 mins later, nothing, couldn't buy a bite. Turn the HW back on, about 5 mins later, we were tearing them up again. I'm originally from the "Show Me State", (Missouri), and was somewhat sceptical until Wednesday. Now I'm a believer. The thing isn't a magic bullet, but It could be close. Every time I've used it and it worked, I've caught more than I did before I bought it.

I had another time that almost made me a believer, but I wanted to see it happen more than once. That time, I chunked an 8" worm to some rocks on the shore and caught a 3 lber. Next cast nothing. I turned the HW on and caught 13 3 to 4 lber's on 13 casts to the same 20' of rocks. I'm sold.



Wow, you said a mouthfull with the part I put in bold. It can be a little iritating figuring out what the fish want, but wow is it fun when you do.

"once you get it dialed in to what the fish want"

So when it is spawn time will it play Barry White and Marvin Gaye?

I do a lot of co-angler fishing. Would it be bold of me to take a hydrowave with me to the tournaments just in case they don't have one. That assumes that you can hook them up easily from boat to boat.

It plays Barry, but I think they forgot to program Marvin in.

I have to know more about the sience of it. Until then its like buying a carton of benifical nemitoads , are they really in the carton or am i buyings just dirt. LOL

I have given it a definite maybe. Seems to move baitfish around in a good way. There are sometimes it probably helps. Not sure that there aren't times you would be better off leaving it off.

Gives you something to play with.
