Too much foo-foo hanging on your stick.
For that matter, just tie on a tinkerbell (5 cents) and a glow stick (7 cents).

I wonder if it has a sensitivity meter so it would be more useful places like the ocean?

I think a sensibility meter is more in order...

An old timer told me:
"All that silly stuff is to catch the fisherman, not the fish"....

We're just getting too much stuff, there is a simple need to stay simple...
