I had these handmade ones for about two years. I liked them a lot. I am a little OCD and I was constantly checking to see if the triggers were freezing, if they were hair enough, etc. I got tired of checking them a thousand times a day and just broke down and got the jaw jackers. I like how much easier they are to tune, set and leave without worry. I don't know if I get more hook ups on the jaw jackers as compared to the homemade ones, but I know my peace of mind to leave them be is a lot better. I hooked a lot on both, my brother still uses his handmade ones. I usually set them out and then jig on a 5th rod and it brings them in to any of the other 4. It has been really effective for sure. To each their own I guess.
