Scepticism Receding? New Sharkbanz Test Footage

It’s Bull sharks vs. Bernie, and the results are interesting.

According to Sharkbanz, “The Bull shark is widely considered the most dangerous shark to humans because of its aggressive nature and nearshore habitat.”

For this test, bait chunks were placed inside Bernie’s foot and he was sent out to fend off six large, Bull sharks. The result was half an hour without any bites while sharks noticeably reacted to both the lure of bait and the Sharkbanz. The Sharkbanz was then removed and within two minutes, his foot was attacked.

We’re still not 100% sold, but you’ve gotta think this footage counts for something. Maybe it couldn’t hurt to have one in the back of the car when your planning a session at that sharky local?
