Magic Buzz

Magic buzz!

Remember this? We put it out 12 years ago. The smart money has been winning on Sharks ever since. Magic buzz? Absolutely. The downrigger cable is just another long guitar string. The length you put out is critical to resonating the vibe the kings are listening for; basic physics. Remember the lateral line; we all hear the that high pitch sound off the cables; so do the fish. Your set up is really an old fashion wash basin base guitar with a really long string. Now think about the vibe going out through the anchor point. That's how the pro's keep winning the big bucks, year after year after year.

We have been studying the relationship between the vibe and the behavior of the fish below for 14 years. We are improving the facet design every year; we are getting better at it. We are in communication with oceanographic sonic people for information about sonic signatures. We will let you know once we have perfected it. As you can see from our impressive results, we are getting close.


The first time we saw a close up of the cable thumping away in the underwater video, we figured it out. The vibration is a function of where the cannonball is positioned under the boat. If it is dragging way back, the cable is on a slope going away from the boat; no vibration. If your Shark is right under the boat, the drag on the cable causes the severe thumping. If the surface of the weight is flat, the vibration can only project from its base. If the anchor point has Shark facets on it; the vibration goes out from each facet; hundreds of them just like a school of bait. The force acting on the cable is only one of the dynamics involved, the other is the displacement of the water by the Shark itself; at 7 feet per second average trolling speed. Again the facet pattern is projecting out just like the rapids on a river. Between these two dynamic forces acting on the Shark, the infra sound is projected out for miles in the dark depths of the lake. Basically, that is it in a nutshell.

We are looking forward to some high res GoPro clips this summer shot in the crystal clear waters of Georgian Bay.

Our spoons have the same facets, they have the same sound signature. Our fans already know that, we are just about out of stock of our first shipment of 4000 spoons. Magic buzz?

Jeff Hynes Shark Pro Staff has declared: " I will not fish with round cannonballs." Same thing 40,000 other guys are saying. Jeff is leading the charge getting the message out to guides on the west coast. "Yeah I’m fish out of water right now, no shark cannonballs... no fishing.... I will not go out with round cannonballs! We fish on ledges all around here trying to find fish and right on bottom. Like fishing 200 feet deep in 210 feet of water.... bottom bouncing pretty much. Ledges drop or rise 20-40 feet difference, hence why I’m snagging up... I fishing 90 percent by my self so as soon as I walk away from the wheel... boat goes one way and then I’m bottom bouncing with cannonballs!!"

I take back all that stuff I said about Chrysler in my earlier blog; all that stuff about putting that gas line filter behind the gas tank so I couldn't get at it to change it. This car saved my life. I was driving back from my chainsaw shop, Penner's Farm Equipment in Tara, Ontario with my brand new Husqueverna 640 chainsaw (sweet) The old Husky my neighbour gave to me finally died; it was thirty years old. A silver truck suddenly appeared right in front of me; he ran through the stop sign without stopping. I didn't have time to say what was on my mind, h#*y ! #*!#k! but for sure I was thinking it at precisely that moment. I was traveling along at 50 miles per hour (80 k/ph). I didn't have the benefit of loosing consciousnesses during the impact, it would have been nice. I was totally aware during the whole thing, all I can say it was gruesome. I survived, the two nice people in the other car survived. I am battered and bruised and glad to be alive; Thank ...

I got an email from a friend fishing the 2009 Masters Trolling Tournament in Denmark. In the email he states he was watching fish come right up to the Sapphire Shark a number of times and then swim off. This burns me up to no end when I hear this; I have been telling guys for five years when they see this happening, it is time to switch to the Black Sharks. If you are using Black Sharks and the fish are swimming off, switch to the Chromes or the Sapphires. The sound generated from the all the Sharks is exactly the same; the bigger Sharks amplify the sound over a greater distance as they displace more water. Curious fish hear the sound and come to the ball from great distances, what they do when they get there depends entirely what kind of mood they are in. If the fish are feeling aggressive while you are using Chrome Sharks they will become even more stimulated and will hit anything running behind it. If they are feeling a little spooky, the Chrome might be a little too much for them t...
