Default My Line Dancer

Has anybody seen this infomercial?

http://www.mylinedancer.com/

I'm not one for infomercials but this one looked interesting, and if it help you catch fish then I'd give it a try.

I've seen the commercials. Thing is, it looks like a device that could be EASILY constructed by anyone who wanted to. A really big plastic coated paper clip would probably do the trick.

haha That's very true, now I'm sitting at my desk with a hand full of paperclips trying to make one of my own.

No comment on the line dancer, but I sure love my Pancake Puff Pan!

I ordered one of these linedancers for my husband for Christmas. It comes out of the States. Don't know (yet) if they work like they say but will try this summer. BTW, I was in the Fishin Hole at WEM (end of March) and they have linedancers there so don't order off TV

They definitely don't do as they show on TV , but gotta admit they do add some really neat motion to your lure . I must say using braided line is the best to use as after awhile using mono line beats it up something fierce . Anyway all in all not a bad product , but could be better how , im not sure .

The same action can be duplicated with your index finger, plus you can turn it on or off automatically. No shipping & handling. That ad will have you believe that they invented this old trick when it was actually Bandaid brand bandaids.

Paper clip or finger will do the same thing at a fraction of the cost!

LOL. I look forward to the fishing reports.

No way I'd be using that thing. Talk about stressing your line. On top of that, unless you're using a large spinning reel, a braided or superline, and the line is constantly tight, that slight wobble it creates will have very little effect on the lure by the time slack, stretch, and line length the motion has to travel are considered.

Gimmick...

P.S. I have a Flying Lure for sale if anyone wants it.
