electrical fields?

[glassyeyedPaul]

Gumby, I was just thinking that downriggers does emit ions which can spook the fish, and that there is a very expensive Cannon downrigger on the market that claims they can prevent the downrigger ball from emitting ions.

I just have a regular easy-troll 2 downrigger, and I would like to know what to do to keep it from spooking fish with the electrical field that seems to come from the boat through the downrigger cable line? Grounding?
