I bought one a couple years back and love it!
It works great for dead sticking on your second pole. They are pretty durable and can adjust to fit most ice poles.
A few drawbacks:
The trigger mechanism will freeze up if it gets wet. Once frozen it loses its sensitivity to bites. If the temp is above freezing or if you set it upon your ice tent you should be ok.
It is hard to jig your lure once the jaw jacker is set. Working with the line tends to put your face right in the line of fire if the trigger gets bumped or you get a bite.
The rod holder may be a bit too narrow for some pole handles. I had to carve my handle down on my newest rod.
That said... I caught my first fish of this ice season on a Jaw Jacker!
I think you will love it!
