Hey Kent,
I'd be 'somewhat' interested in hearing more details about this and how that relates to positive ion control, a feature offered by some downriggers like my Cannons or the add-on black box.
I say 'somewhat' because I think that there are infinite things we can do to tweak a presentation--some anglers have a dozen jigging rods for different jigging presentations while others have one rod they use for jigging, trolling, etc. But the guy with a dozen application-specific rods may not outcatch the guy with one rod.
I have positive ion control on my downriggers and it's something I never pay any attention to--ever. I'll switch baits, speed, location, colors, distance from cannonball, and repeat. I guess we have to choose which variables we pay attention to. And I would think voltage emitted is fairly low on the list. But maybe that's just true for me because I have fairly high-end downriggers??
Either way, it's an area I claim ignorance in. So I'd like to hear more details. Another good book I recommend is Mark Romanack's Trolling Top to Bottom.
