Default Buzz Rods

Anyone familiar with them? they are ice fishing rods w/ small batteries and a button u push to make the end of the rod vibrate like crazy. I was wondering if anyone has had any comparatively better fishing with them rather than regular combos. I have one and fish with it often but dont see much of a difference. cool idea though!

What a joke, I bought one last year. 3 ft down the ice fly doesnt even move. Then the wires broke. Believe it or not it is the only fricking rod I cant break the tip off![:'(] Save your money.

I got one as a gift....It vibrates the lures good on certain lures, Rapala jigg was awsome...Tear drops dont move
I got a nice northern on mine, broke wires, took it apart rewired it and works great, I got it working for a while at least

Point proven! What jig do you want to bounce real quick like that. The tear drop. Once again JUNK!

I got my tear drops bumping like a backseat with Jessica Simpson
Had an old Playstation Controller and took whole thing apart cut out the vibraters took the biggest one and wired it and rigged it to buzzstick, Works awsome, Lures really jigg around. Worth All the work I put into it, Was worth it, Also putt heavyer duty wire and longer ones so they wont break. The bigger vibrater will prob eat battery faster. But if it catches fish its worth it, Going out in morn to give it a test drive.
