From Black Box Techniques by Pro-Troll:
Ever wondered why some boats consistently out fish all the others? Every experienced fisherman has seen it. Two boats using the same lures, same gear, same depth and one will catch most of the fish. The answer may not be as mysterious as it seems. Research in recent years has shown that positive voltage on your downrigger cable can have a major influence on fishing results. As a boat sits in the water, very small electrical currents are generated as the minerals in the water react with the different metals on the boat. If the boat is outfitted correctly, a very slight positive electrical charge will surround the hull. Fish are attracted to this positive charge. If the boat is set up wrong, an incorrect charge surrounds the hull and fish will be repelled. Fishermen who learn how to take advantage of this will significantly improve their catch.
Nearly one hundred years ago, Russian scientists studying fish behavior learned that most fish have reactions to weak positive and negative electrical charges in the water. Some fish, like sharks, will react strongly to the tiniest of electrical fields. Fish are attracted to a positive charge and are repelled by a negative charge.
Modern downriggers offer fishermen a big advantage in getting the correct positive electrical charge around their boats. If the downrigger is insulated, natural electrolysis between the stainless steel downrigger wire and the metals of the boat will create a positive charge. The fisherman can then control and stabilize this charge to the ideal voltage by using the Black Box.
Different species will show varying degrees of electrical reaction. Some of the fish showing the most sensitivity include salmon, kokanee and trout. Natural electrolysis causes electricity to flow from the metal hull parts of your boat to your downrigger wire. If the boat and downrigger are set up right, this will place a positive charge on the downrigger wire which attracts fish. A black box will stabilize this charge at the ideal voltage.
