Never seen 'em before. Looks like they'd detect a light bite though. Let us know how well they work for ya.

Ice fishing guys use them a lot to detect light bites

the way the weather has been around hear == and these things are good for ice fishin
they should work fine on Wylie and Wateree if you pitch in a little rain with the cold

I have used them, got some in my boat, they work, just use small jigs , 1/32 or smaller, good for vertical jigging when the bite is so light you can't feel it. It will show you them soft bites.

Amen to that! Amazing how they can eat a fiddler crab and not show the bite at all. I always figure if you on't see a bite after 5 minutes you better check your bait 'cause it is probably gone.

Last Labor Day weekend Crappiekrazy and I went sheepshead fishing at Atlantic Beach NC. We got up at 4am to catch fiddlers at low tide. We got to out good spot and for some reason there were only a few crabs. We got what we could and after launching the boat we went around some bridge pilings and harvested some sea urchins. Trimmed the spines with scissors and hooked 'em thru the shell. Best sheepshead trip we ever had. Harder for the fish to get the urchin without evidence of a bite and mostly bigger fish. I'll never stoop to catch a crab again!

You are so right about that. I have and also fished for them in Lajes Field Azores. I also caught sheephead on salted chicken breast cut into chunks about 1 inch cubes. I used a popping cork with a piece of lead attached and fished it in the blue bubbled water in the ocean as it slapped up on the cliffs and rushed out. The waves would leave the bubbles in a cut in the volcanic rock and sheephead always hung out around these spots. I found this out by watching the locals and it was on after that. I don't know who introduced raw chicken to the sheephead but the locals there used it and it worked. It was cured by salting it down and refrigerating it 24 hours. It stayed on the hook pretty good. I guess if you can catch brim and catfish on hot dogs and bread anything could work!
