I have not used one myself but my grandfather used one on the Tennessee River for large catfish when I was a small child. I can still remember him cranking as hard as he could and catfish floating up. He then build him a flat bottom boat and used a model t ford engine to power it. He attached two wires to the engine generator and used it to call up catfish. He was a commercial fisherman at the time, using hoop nets, trot lines and other tricks to earn his living. At that time fishing licenses were not required and there were few rules regarding how you caught fish.
