Black box

[thork9]

Has anyone have any info on the black box, does electricity work in ontario for salmon? I have used it for lakers in lake George ny . It did work but I have a new boat and wondered if I should use it. Oh it's made by Scotty.

Black boxes can be effective just like the positive ion control on cannon riggers. I puts a specific current to the riggers which will either attract or repel trout and salmon. Generally shorter rigger leads work when used with the box.

That being said before considering a unit check your boats "charge" . Run everything like you would while fishing and with riggers in the water. Also check all your boat grounds and zincs.

Had a scotty unit On my last boat and overall I found correcting sub par boat grounds and making better terminal connections on everything had a far greater impact than the black box ever did.
