It looks like a knock off of the Wake Maker.

Yep. I'm also confused on the selling point that there are no stakes required yet you have to use one for the battery box. False advertisement.

well i guess you could lay the battery box in the water next to your machine or you could fasten it to the frame if you want.it doesnt make alot of difference if you dont want to use a small peice of conduit.

I was wondering how it stays in place. It would have to "walk" to an extent since it isn't staked. I figure the box stake was to keep it in place or does it sit on the bottom?

That would be completely worthless for where I hunt. Too much moss.

Imagine a wake maker on a PVC frame. Dats it. Kinda looks like a kite.

It seems like a decent idea. I feel like a jerk cord with a good stretchy bungee does the same thing though.

Guys and Gals:
I have the privalage of hunting with the guy that invented this. We hunt in a public area were blinds are 200 yards apart and there are lots of them! I am convinced that the motion in this system works. We've pulled ducks in that I think were looking at other blinds but came in to us because of the swimming motion it creates! Get yourself one and I'm sure you won't be disappointed!
