I have it as well. The only difference I noticed is stations that would barley come in before don't come in at all now. Not a big deal though. If you could get a station clearly before you won't have any problems. It looks 1000x better than the stock fishing pole.

I live in suburb area and the reception goes down a little if i pass like a big truck or driving next to a hill or something. It only lasts for like 1 second anyway

But there is always signal, stock one is better of course, but the shorty antenna looks way better, that reason justifies getting it

I have it also. It works great for me. Like the others said, the reception is a little lower around trucks,buildings and stations that were already bad. Looks great too

I have that antenna. The reception is not as good as a stock antenna, but I live in a suburban area so I don't really notice much. Like Icydub said, if I go next to a big truck or under under a big overpass I will get a little static, but other than that I haven't had any problems.
