The Hydrowave Electronis Feeding Simulator...Really!

[Morelures]

What is the point of fishing with all of this High-Tec stuff on the market? How can you compare the old tourny fishing records to the new guys who are using stuff like this!? Before you know it there will be a motor that chucks fish in your boat as you move from one spot to another.

The HydroWave Electronic Feeding Simulator is currently available for pre-order - and expected to arrive by early-Summer.*

*Arrival dates are supplied by the manufacturer and are subject to change.

Used by 4-time Bassmaster Classic Champion, Kevin Van Dam, and top professional bass angler, Jeff Kriet in the 2011 Bassmaster Classic on the Louisiana Delta, as well as for the entire 2011 BASS Elite Series Tour. Van Dam and Kriet are actually partners in HydroWave and were involved in its testing and design.

The easy-to-install and user-friendly HydroWave is an Electronic Feeding Stimulator based on the reactive senses of bass and other predatory fish. Delivering the latest in patented, sound-emitting technology, it effectively imitates the audible underwater sounds of baitfish and fish-feeding activities. Research has proven these sounds stimulate feeding impulses in game fish.

The Tactile Sound Transmissions emitted by HydroWave's finely-tuned amplifiers are different from ordinary sounds because they are the sounds and vibrations that you can actually feel. Tactile sounds are what fish respond to. The unit emits sound waves that predatory fish feel, hear and sense as natural baitfish activities - to "ignite a feeding frenzy."

Biologists have long known fish hear and sense prey through a complex system that includes sound, vibration and pressure waves. The presence of bait along with other feeding fish is what elicits a response, and that is not triggered by sound alone. You must have all the ingredients pressure, vibration and sound combined in the right frequency to stimulate a feeding response.

The concept of using sound to excite fish is nothing new. Reports of tribesmen slapping the water, striper fishermen revving their outboards and others using various electronic contraptions as ways to attract and activate fish have been talked about in fishing circles for years upon years. The HydroWave takes this concept to a whole new level.

All of the sounds and sound loops come programmed into the unit's software. There is no loading of programs and/or sounds required. Operation is truly a pick and play procedure.

The actual HydroWave unit features a durable injection-molded housing that is 100-percent waterproof. Extensive testing was conducted to ensure the housing and electrical components would withstand the constant pounding of rough boating conditions. It also mounts easily on the boat's bow area with a bracket or Velcro, which are both included. (Optional transom-mount available through HydroWave)

The Hydrowave speaker mounts on the underside of the trolling motor's lower unit, fitting all models of trolling motors (clamp included). The speaker is multi-directional so it doesn't matter which way the trolling motor is pointed, and it snugs up smoothly against the unit for a perfect, hydrodynamic fit. Operates on a 12-volt power supply.

"I've always paid attention as to how fish seem to feed and respond to each other while in competition for food. Like most bass fishermen who spend a lot of time on the water, I've witnessed situations where a school could be fired up by getting just one fish to bite. Igniting those kinds of flurries during a tournament day can be a huge advantage. HydroWave is about providing that stimulus for that first response to get things going." - Kevin Van Dam, 4-time Bassmaster Classic Champion

How can you compare the old tourny fishing records to the new guys who are using stuff like this!?

Same could be said of other sports...... :-?

I knew there was a machine to his method of catching

Is this some mumbo jumbo scheme to get others to spend money?

LOL, something like that.

sounds like baloney to me

Sounds like a version of the BSX Fish Activator.

Does it work?

Don't know.

Do the pros really use it?

Of course, so they can say they used it in tournaments.

Did it actually help them catch more fish?

I doubt it.

Will I get one?

Nope.

I personally feel that this is like body building or dietary supplements. There is always some amazing new product on the market. That will revolutionize the sport. However the ones that actually work get banned, IE Andro and Tbombs. If this did all it claims to do I don't think it will be tournament legal for long.In no way am I saying this device doesn't work. I'm just saying I don't think its all its being hyped up to be.

Look up "Mako Magnet" and "Tuna Magnet". Saltwater fishermen have been using these kinds of things for years. 99% of them will tell you they can't prove it works but can't prove it doesn't work.
