It's suspose to be a magical fish attracting device. All the major stores ( Bass Pro, Cabelas, etc.) sell it or a version of it. It's powered by your 12 v dc battery. It attaches to the stern or a few other ways. It's function is to alter the electrical charges around your boat. Ther are several ways that you can hook it up. One way is to hook it up around your downrigger wire. It looks like a small loop (coil) that goes around the downrigger line. It has wires the hook up to the Black Box. You can dial in a certain amount of voltage for a selected species of fish. It's a very interesting concept. The book is interesting. Now I peaked your interest along with the other 18,000 that view this site.

fishon51 - I take it that you do not believe in it? A few years ago I was on a Charter in the Gulf off of Sarasota Fla. The captain said that we were over fish and we started catching them. He kept fiddling with something. This was before I even heard of a Black Box. I asked what it was and he just gave me some kind of off the wall answer. It could have been one. ?? Yeah I know that was salt water and this is Lake Erie but anything is possible. I hope the guy that you know has some input on this site to help us.
