I hope it doesn't bring down the price of tuna, seeing how everyones gonna be catching them.

I suppose I might buy one just to see if they work. But, if they do actually “make the fish bite” then ii expect most tournaments would ban them. If that were the case then I wouldn’t bother fishing with them and I don’t think they would become very popular.
So no worries here!

I can't deny that there is alot of technology in that lure, in fact, I would say too much.

But it is also undeniable that there is whole lotta techno-babble BS in the hype.
For example:
"neuro-excitatory" based feeding stimulants - are they talking about salt-impregnated lures that stimulate a fishes biting instincts and which have been around for years?

"self-aware" ambient light sensing system - are they talking about adding a light-sensor to the lure so that the LED lights are brighter in darker water?

I particularly like that last one - I think my pen is now "self-aware" after I slammed it on the desk and it broke demonstrating that it doesn't like to be mistreated.

Great marketing angle, of course they will work especially if you pay $34, you would not tell your buddies that they don't and look like a fool for spending that much on a lure, now throw a Japanese name on them and they will sell like hotcakes. Only time will tell,so Joe if by chance one of these electronic force feeding lures come across your desk give us the honest lowdown.

As someone who vaguely resembles a scientific type, I can't help but ask......What exactly do I need an "anti-microbial cleaning solution" for. Is this a lure or a petri dish? Could it give me swine flu, or some other sinister virus? I think I'll stick to my spinnerbaits, jitterbugs, rapalas and flies, thank you very much. (Coming from a guy who got suckered into: Dancin' Eel, Banjo Minnow, that gliding jig, among many others. Although I can say I caught fish on them all.)

Wags, don't dis the Dancin' lures...

OK, so I never caught anything on the Dancin' Eel, but one of the biggest wintertime bass I've ever caught bit on a Dancin' Craw. It was, literally, the only fish I ever caught on that lure. I'm pretty sure that bass had cataracts.

At any rate, the Biopulse reminds me of a lure advertised in Bassmasters magazine (and maybe F&S, but I distinctly remember it in Bassmasters) back in the early 80s. It was a remote control, sonic vibration topwater thingamajig made by a company called the 21st Century Lure Company or Tackle company or something like that.

It was hella-expensive, but man I wanted one bad. The remote control sonic vibration oprated at a wavelength that was deadly irresistable to hawg bass. Or so the ad told me.

So color me cynical. May be in a different key, but I'm pretty sure I've heard this song before...

And if it does work, I'm only using it on tuna. I don't have much luck with those things.

I dont think it would catch on as a lure and most decent fisherman wouldnt use it because it takes all the skill and practice and point away from fishing. When i go fishing i go to catch fish but if i have to force them to eat at the lure then im not actually fishing am i. Its like saying you make money when you rob someone, you dont do it honestly you force some person out of it. When you use that lure you cheat someone else out of what would be an amazing event in their life.By making the fish bite even if they don't want to there will be more trophies caught and it won't be for the reason that the person was using the right technique or in the right spot it will be because the fish saw it and had no choice. That takes all the sportsmanship and diligence away from fishing. That lure is cheating and thats all.

i think about some of these things, and it really isn't fishing when you have a lure that goes to the fish and makes it strike, which is like getting a live deer and tying it to a tree and shooting it. It just isn't like the good ol day where it was just a hook and some worms and skill and practice. i feel a little bit anti towards some of these new technology fishing lures that take away from the part of fishing which is waiting and sometimes going home empty but coming back with a plan.

I think they have overwhelmed this with too much technology and over thought it, no matter how much research or experiments they do its not always going to be the same, animals never do what we expect. we use decoys and scents for deer and they just walk right by them. Yeah this might catch fish but so could just about anything else you throw in the water after enough casts in the right spot. Totally think it takes the sport and rawness of being in nature

i'm the one that only catches the dumbest fish in the lake and when i keep casting after that, the other fish swim up to shore and look at me like, "what the hell is he trying to do"? i still wouldn't use something like that! i'd rather not catch anything. i don't believe half of that crap they say in the first place.

I am an old style angler and just want fish not force the fish to engulf my lures or flies;maybe only
give to the fish a little bit to provocation...

Wait -- someone somewhere is trying to invent a way to make the fish to jump out of the water and into you boat or waiting net with little effort or skill required! I can't speak for anyone else but a major reason I fish, besides a few for the pan, is because it's a challenge. When that has been removed or reduced to next to nothing then along with it will go my desire to fish.
What about you?
