It's a great idea and I'm glad he's having success with them. And I'm even more glad he's sent us some for our members.

It has 15 lb test line, so it might not be the best for jigging, but that's not what it was designed for. It might be interesting to use when pulling crank baits for Crappie in the Summer. You will be alerted when you get a bite. And although most of us prolly target Crappie, we do other types of fishing too. It has a sensitivity setting, so it would be good when trolling. Or if you bank fish, it'll let you know right when that fish hits your line, just in case you're busy doing something else. It has some real world fishing applications for sure.

I would like to win this so I can take it apart to see how it works and put together. I'd put it back together and enjoy fooling with it. Thanks.

I need sommething smarter than me to fish.

being hard of hearing and losing my eyesight I believe this would be a big help in my fishing.

Would give it to my nephew since he can't tell when he is getting a bite . He does ok with a cork but bottom fishing in our stocked pond is an afternoon of reeling and throwing .

i need all the help i can get

I'm in, cause I may take EZ feshing and he needs all the help he can get!!!!!!!!:Rofl

I know I need it. Us old Geezers are deaf and need our sleep. I watched some videos of it in use and I'm sure its loud enough for me to hear it and will allow me to snooze in the shade while still catching supper. I want it...

This is "Prefers Shiners".....not the "Mrs".......my computer died and is undergoing CPR at the shop.....so, throw my name in the pot.....

I want this because I would like to have as many rods as Doc.....

I really would like to win the rod because I would give to one of my besties that I think it would improve his catch ratio :) Yea G, I would do that for you LMAO

I'm in.

Because I've never won a drawing. LOL

Because I just want to try it!

p.s. MS is a great place

Count me in cause I could use all the help I can get catching more fish,,,, lol

I just want a Yankee to win it

I'm in, want it so i wont have to keep telling my partner he got a bite :biggrin

I'm in. I'm with Tracker123 on this.

BTW!! Disqualify Billbob from the gitgo. LOL.

I am in cause Torch needs all the help to keep up with me catching!:Rofl

I want to win it so Tracker123 and jigflinger can't take it apart.

I would like to have it so my granddaughter can teach me how to use it.

So I could give it to a kid I know that could use it. I'll buy him a tackle box and tackle to match if I win it....

I'm in because I have a friend who could use it to give it to a friend of his who is in need of it! :fish

In order to become the best fisherman, I need to use the best equipment.

I fish with bigblue, Slabin, BigC..We need some intelligence

Want to be the first guy north of the mason-dixon line to have one.

I need a rod with smarts, to make up for my dumbness.

I want it to knock Sat over the head with when he misses a fish. That red light might keep him awake to catch a fish lol

I need it so I can stop slapping my wife on the leg everytime one of her poles catches a fish and she is looking at the eagles........

need another rod to make an even 120

I would give it to Supergooser so he knows when he's got a fish on while pulling crank baits!

If I win I'll give it a try, if I like it I'll buy another.

I'd like to try it out also! Smart Rod! There's a app for that.

Since its a smart rod I need it to count my crappie for me:biggrin

I know who I'd give one to. He REALLY needs one!!!!!BWAHAHAHAHAHA

My 4yr old loves her Snoopy rod but it's not easy for her to use.. It's not a spinning reel and her right arm doesn't have the strength to hold it upright nor does she have the feeling in it to detect a bite... This thing would work pretty well for her.. Every time I go in garage I have to get her Snoopy pole out.. I know she would love it

I would just like to have one .

I NEED this because I take and teach at least 20 kids a year fishing. I had one kid bird nest three spinning reels in a row last year. Maybe I misstated my answer. These kids Neeeds it. Lol

I would find a deserving kid to give it to.

What was the prize......I forgot!:dono

MY ONLY REASON
