PowerPro® — 255
An electric current, however slight, is generated as friction occurs between the water and the downrigger cable while trolling. This current is defined as “electrostatic hum.” When trolling with downrigger cables at depth, fish are acutely sensitive to these electric impulses through their lateral lines. Over the past century, studies have proven that all fish react differently to these electrical currents. The only consistent factor is that the majority of all game fish are attracted to positive ions (anodes) and shy away from negative ions (cathodes). Downrigger cables produce positive or negative ions depending on many factors: salinity, trolling speed, minerals in the water, and even depth.. How is this resolved? PowerPro®…
Replacing your downrigger cable with PowerPro® Down Rigger and you will eliminate the “electrostatic hum” produced by typical downrigger cables. Not only will you have greater confidence in your presentation, but with PowerPro’s small diameter you may be able to use less lead to get your baits to depth! Coupled with PowerPro’s Enhanced Body Technology (EBT) which TM
increases durability and abrasion resistance, you will have PowerPro® on your Downriggers for years to come.
