I have used a black box on downriggers in the past. Both fresh and salt water. I was targeting salmon in all instances. I did not have any better luck with the boxes than without. This was a $300 box set up made in Alaska and marketed by a commercial fisherman who swore by it.
I will not say they do not work at all, just that on the several times I tried the thing, I caught no fish. The lack of luck may not be atributeable to the box. I had very high expectations though and that lead to a deep distrust of the box when it did not produce as hoped. If I had caught fish by the dozens however, I would still be using the thing and swearing by its performance. I have of course caught fish by the dozens without it and therefore do not lament the passing of the box to another anxious fisherman.
