E-Chips


Below you will find essential tips and tackle for catfishing.
Keep checking back as this section will be updated often.

    E-chips are a very small, sealed tube with a ball bearing and a ceramic microchip inside. The movement of the ball bearing causes the microchip to create a small electric current. Fish have been proven to be very sensitive to such currents and use that sense to hunt prey. All living creatures generate such currents when sending instructions from the brain to the various muscles of the body; this includes fish as well.

    Fishing Methods for E-chips: simply attach an E-chip to your line, hook, or lure and fish it the way you normally would.
