    Don't know if they work or not, but there's one turning up at our pond this year. One of the fellas thought it would be worth a crack. We're going to hook it up to car battery on the side. The remote control means you can give it a flick when needed.

    If it scares them off, it may need a paint/flocking job. Every little bit helps sometimes

    Before we had a dog we used to leave the shot ducks out on the pond off the Waihou till they started to rotate If Dad had a cow stuck down on the river flats he could not leave it over night as the eels would have there teats off I never tried that hook thing Dundee recon back in the day it would have been like that last scene where there trying to slow Jaws down in Jaws1 with those 44 gallon drums
    We did catch one out of there spotlighting on a Cub trip.
    Spared it with a four prong garden fork. Across the body three went through and the fourth nicked the outside was only around a meter long but man was he fat! We sent him up to the Swiss sausage shop at Te Aroha West for smoking was not to bad as I remember

    the DC recharge sockets and the on off switches rust out unless you squirt them with CRC before and after you use them, also in the ones i have repaired the remote control receiver is not waterproof and if water gets in you can say goodbye to having remote control.
