Well, I first would like to thank everyone here that has given me so much great information and opinions about this dilemma over whether or not I should purchase a Hover Lure for my husband for Christmas. I posted to this board as well as others in order to gather as much information as possible. I also recently contacted the people who make the Hover Lure and spoke with them about some of the concerns that were raised by people about it. The main thing I tried to find out about is whether they were going to be around or like a lot of people said they were a "advertise, take your money and run" type of company. They have actually been in business for a year and a half and the man whose idea this was has been working on it for 6 years now. My husband is not exactly the handiest person in the world. (Last year's nightmare of him trying to put some bookshelves together comes to mind.) They assured me that when he fishes the lure, that it was an easy three-step process that even a child could do. The last thing I asked about was the concern about not being able to fish it except in specific locations and only during part of the year. They agreed with me on this point and basically said, "Yes, well this is made to be fished in weedy areas without having to worry about snags like with other lures." So, I took what they told me and what you guys told me and decided that some other people were right about what I should do. If this is what my husband really wants, and he still assures me he does, then I am going to make him happy and get it for him. I know that I could have reached the same conclusion without going through all this hassle but at least now I can make it feeling a little more assured that he will be truly happy with it. I want to thank you all again for your help and opinions. I will also try to get my husband on here someday and let you all know how it worked out.
