I definitely disagree with that study. 1st their just asking anglers what they caught & just going off their word, people could say whatever? But only .82% additional fish caught over fishing without it?. If that was true then FFS would not be dominating the tournaments. Also I've had it on my kayak about a year n half now. It has absolutely helped me find & catch a lot of fish I otherwise wouldn't had known was their or caught. It's put way way more than .82% more fish in my net!!!! I don't catch everything I see either. I see way more fish I can't catch than I see that I do catch but it's absolutely upped my catch rate significantly!
You have to take into consideration the lakes. There is not shallow flipping in crystal clear water with little to no gras and spars wood. That division was determined by black boxes before FFS and have been since flashers.

Sad to say a whole division bfl depends on a black box 😢
