Anyone use these magnetic dipseys? (Kodiak kastaway divers)

Any pros vs. Cons? Reviews I have read are pretty good but I don't really trust just that.

I haven't seen those before. Interesting concept, would definitely be nice to not have to reel all the way back in on a false release. I'm interested to hear if anyone here has tried them.

There was a line of magnetic directional divers put out decades ago by a guy who called himself Kastaway Kulis. He was something of a character, I believe from over Lake Ontario way who did some writing and early video work. He had these divers and a couple other products. I don't thing they ever caught on. My only thought is they would not be adjustable enough. If the magnets were strong enough to hold up to fishing in a significant chop with braid or wire line, they'd be too tight to easily release with mono or early in the year when used for cohos.

Yep that's the one I'm talking about! They are about 10 dollars cheaper then the Jensen divers. Witch is y I ask. I bought 1 and will give a report if I ever actually get back out on the water this season:/
