sharkshield - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

yeah its funny becuase people still buy that garbage.

complete and total waste of money.

your chances of dieing by rolling while surf landing and snapping your neck are 100 times higher than a shark attacking you. Specially here in Southern California. Not that i have a gracefull surf landing...but based off the tournament pictures!...

Keep in mind, Most kayaks are around 13-15feet long, a full grown Great White is around 15-18 feet (in south africa and australia they are a little bigger) Great whites prey on baby seals, and injured old seals. or stupid seals. i dont see a great white attacking a 14 foot x-factor Seal.

I hope a shark does get me out on the water, wouldnt be a better way i want to go out! fish get revenge!

commercial trials were a dismal failure

Seems like it would scare off fish too. Yellows and wsb are already hard enough to catch!

several years ago i did extensive research on sharks while trying to come up a new shark lure. this lure was to use an electrical field. during my research i came across the SharkShield. IT IS ONLY EFFECTIVE AGAINST SOME SHARKS!! none of which are in our waters. but what MUST be taken into account is this... sharks have sensors in their snouts called the "ampullae of lorenzini". these sensors allow sharks to hunt in totally darkness and in the absence of sent. tests have shown that sharks can detect fields as low as .005 of a volt. so where this device may infact keep certain sharks away, it has failed in keeping other dangerous species at bay. and sense sharks can detect such a small field IT WOULD ONLY CAUSE SHARKS TO CHECK OUT THIS STRANGE FIELD THEY ARE DETECTING AND TO CHECK YOU OUT! and we all know that sharks teeth are a sharks hands. so in my opinion using a "SharkShield" will only attract sharks to you and make you a target.

Its a good thing that sharks are not as smart as these Orca or we all would be in trouble.

Take a look at this Video.
It shows a precision synchronized feeding effort.

I don't have a problem with sharks, but I'd buy a barracuda shield, slimy fookers are a nuisance.
