I used the rigger plug for the negative and used some old rigger cable with a 2 lb ball and a loop on the other end, threw the loop over the pulley onto the metal boom of the rigger. As long as the 2 lb ball is in the water your good.Maybe a silly question but what do you guys use to extend your multimeter probes? I can't get to the water with one lead if I'm touching my battery and it's a pretty crazy maneuver to reach a rigger line.
Extra long probes? Spare strand of wire?
I think last time I checked from the neg terminal to the rigger wire I was .6 pos.
I'll be going over all the tips here this weekend.
With an AL boat, there are a couple different theories on connecting the hull to the negative 12DC electrical bus; I'd read-up on this & decide which way to go. For sure you want all electrical wiring sound sides connected to the battery negative; ...
I think the visual and the sound from the flasher and lure is what draws them in and not some voodoo black box emitting some voltage to put them in a biting mood.
There is no evidence of "voodoo" in the research literature and there are rigorous filters applied in the research to eliminate well-known biases. However, there is ample and enduring evidence in the academic literature that fish are sensitive to very low voltages and to electromagnetic field effects. Lateral lines are believed to be a sensory organ that responds to these stimuli in ways that may resemble our sense of touch. Based upon this evidence it is not a leap in imagination to suggest that low, stray voltages may interest fish while higher voltages might repel them.X2
Confirmation bias is too strong with these things, and like voodoo, is a religion. What happens on the days when your perfectly dialed in black box doesn't catch fish? What will you blame that day?
Che as a ex commercial troller who worked on many different boats you would have been the guy complaining he couldn't catch fish because he didn't have the right gear or wasn't in the right place but the whole time it was your boat and it cost you tens of thousand of dollars because you couldn't understand itIf you don't 'believe' in them, then you're made out to be some kind of a Kafir. To the folks who do, it's impossible to question these things. It's like they're some kind of a papal bull about fishing. The evidence is basically:"I use one, and I caught fish." Yet the counterpoint of "I don't use one, and I also caught fish" is seen as complete heresy to the former. It can almost go into the Asch Experiment too. Where people end up agreeing with the group, even though they know the groups is wrong, just to avoid being the odd one out.
Fishing black boxes? They're complete voodoo.
Malcom Rusell is the guro on this. He has helped many resolve these issues. He invented the black box.
