I added 15 of the bill dance fish attractors to my pond in late summer. So far I have yet to catch a fish off of them. But there are some people on this forum that have had great success with them. I really like the way the honey hole shrub looks better than the honey hole tree. I will probabaly give them a try this year. I would mix it up between real and artificial. You could tie some tree limbs together in a pile and place in 4-6 of water or use christmas trees for small fish to hide in and around and use some honey hole shrubs or trees for fishing hot spots since you can't get hung up on them as easy as the tree limbs or christmas trees.
