Never heard of them but that box has a lot of bells and whistles in 44". Best of luck
 

Bought one a month ago, took it up to East Fork of San Gabriel river. Set up in an area just below parking lot. Adjusted drop to 1" for foot of length. So mine is 63" long and used about 5" drop. Worked ok saw some gold in box. Afterwards emailed Ted at Colorado Gold Sticks, and asked how to set up the right way. He emailed back to just skim off about 3/4-1" of water and maintain that through box. Water should not be clear, but turbulent. Will try that on next outing and report back in a post. But even though set up was "wrong" I managed to catch some gold. So it does work!
 

Weird thing is that I've never seen nor heard of one in use here in Colorado.
 

They are made in Canon City, Colorado. I bought mine from eBay. Will custom make to your specifications.
 

A friend of mine purchased one, from Ebay.
He discovered...it's OK, But it is not a Bazooka!
