Had mine 3 years, done OK. Wide open with disc set to accept zinc and above most of the time, but I have really been hunting only high conductors.
If you would’ve told me before I got it that I would’ve found what I’ve found, knowing my sites with the Whites IDXPro....I would’ve said you’re nuts, I hunt public places only. I’m not saying your success will be what mine has been, but this is just an example of what CAN and HAS happened. Never been in the water...
