I have heard these work. What are your thoughts? Academy just did a price reduction. So far this is the cheapest I've found them.

When they first came out I was shooting outdoor archery heavily, I would purposely get in a group who had one LOL! they work! I've had mine for 8 years, they even keep them sweat bees away in the dove field.

I'd be a little worried they'd put off a scent that would permeate my tackle and scare the fish away though? I know I have to be real careful about DEET bug repellant because it's an excellent fish repellent.

I have been using them for years for bow hunting. They are great.. I have one strapped to my Black Pak when it's a hot windless day and they bugs are in swarms. It works great for about a 10' circle.

They're awesome. With west Nile being a real threat they add a level of protection.

They work great. If you ever doubt it, turn it off and see how long before you get swarmed.

How long do the batteries last? Do they use a scent or some type of electronic deterent?

No batteries. Butane cylinder and a quartz ignitor inside.
