EMC2 there is something to the eletric impulse generating a field to atract fish. Companies like cannon have been sporting some simular products. http://www.cannondownriggers.com/sit...i_troll_iv.htm
It is widely known that some fish will hurt themselves in captivity in aquariums where there is eletrical current present. However I think this works more on some species (like sharks) more than it does on others. As to where if it will help in the bottom of the fish box line I do not know. If you get one let me know how it works out.
