E Chip

[PAkev]

This has been around for a few years and consists of a small ball bearing inside a ceramic chamber. The concept behind it is to call in fish who feel the vibrations while believing there is a distressed baitfish as an easy meal.<br /><br />I have purchased some tackle with E Chips but never had the anticipated success over conventional alternatives.<br /><br />Is this another thing that catches more fishermen than fish or does someone have any compelling experiences in using the E Chip.

Re: E Chip

Here in Michigan (as well as other parts of the country) Tackle is BIG business.(Think Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops) New spoons in a "Hot" new color can mean big bucks...etc. <br /><br />That said, I have fished with a lot of fishermen. Some who use lures (and other tackle) that they have used for years with great success. Others who swear by the new technology, e-chips etc. <br />I have used both with good luck. <br /><br />What separates these guys from the "rest of the crowd" is the amount of time they spend on the water.....regardless of what "Hot" lure they were using.
