[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 456846, member: 21536"] That wire hum can get pretty irritating. Just pretend it is attracting fish and it won't be so bad. I noted that going to a heavier DR weight practically eliminated it in my boat. I also read where putting a floating cork or something on the wire gets rid of the hum. Never tried that myself, so can't say for sure. Finally, I read that using braid instead of cable eliminates hum and reduces blow back. None-the-less, I prefer cable. If you really want to get fancy, get one of those positive ion controllers that will send a current that fish like down the wire. I think the Cannon Electric DRs have that built in. Needless to say there are all kinds of gadgets that will drain your pocket book. [/QUOTE]
