I tend to be skeptical about many issues and I really hope the shield works.  That being said, I can't help but wonder why there aren't any efficacy studies from academia in the United States.  An endorsement from a major university like Scripp's Institute of Oceanography or any major US institution would make me feel much better about making the purchase.  I realize the product is not from the US but the research data they have just isn't strong enough for me.  I plan to refrain from dangling my legs over the side, not hang a bloody catch in the water and refrain from fishing in known sharky areas, realizing the fact that IF THE WATER TASTES SALTY, sharks may be present.

I believe I sent out all the PM's on the thread as well as those previously on the list.  If you have any further questions please PM me!  Hope I can help out NCKA a little bit on this one.

Tried mine for the first time in6 years of ownership and all I can say is if you accidentally get a hook snagged in it don't forget to turn it off before grabbing said hook. Holy shit.

True dat! Lol the first and only time I used mine is when I grabbed it while the tip was still in the water and it kicked my right leg up in the air.
