I've never heard the above phrase and it immediately leads me to believe this product is crap.
Just my first impression as I have never heard of it before.

Sharks are commonly called the taxman in the spearing groups I follow.

It's not. Sharks and Rays both have "Ampullae of Lorenzini" which are receptors capable of picking up magnetic fields produced by fish and other prey. Magnets can be used to overpower these receptors causing sharks and rays to flee when they come in close range.
Tut - You looking for something wearable? There's a company in Texas that sells a product called Ray-Pel that is designed for sting rays. Not sure how effective for sharks. I'm guessing sharks would take more heavy duty magnets
"Taxman" and "Man in the Grey Suit" are both common nicknames for sharks. Additionally "Arsehole" is also a common name for them

So that's a magnetic weight?

That’s what it looks like, they also have a comment from the company saying it is highly magnetic and attached to ferrous objects, good luck dropping a $75 magnetic weight anywhere off the coast of LA.

Follow some gulf coast fishing groups and you'll get learnt.

What if it makes the Shark go from docile to agressive?

Just went and watched one of their videos and I’m not a diver but that definitely looks interesting. Could be used for more than just surfers and divers too

one of the most common man/shark encounters is a wade fisherman with a stringer

Yep. Lost many a stringer of trout over the years. Use a basket now.

I used one for a year and it didnt make any difference. They just kept biting on the net till it opened holes
I just use a longer stringer now

You ever hear of the man in the gray suit?
Posted on 5/30/21 at 10:00 am to TutHillTiger
well, I guess one would have to be afraid of sharks to spend money on that...

Do they still work after a great white poops them out?
