The HydroWave is an electronic fishing device created to emit the sounds of a predatory fish engaged in feeding. Our product acts as an underwater manipulative, like bait; however, it communicates to the fish’s primary sensory system, the lateral line, which allows fish and amphibians to perceive and localize movements in their vicinity. It is involved in important behaviors such as prey detection, predator avoidance, or swimming in schools. The HydroWave is built on this science; however, our focus is prey detection. When the HydroWave is turned on, it sends out reverberations to a bigger fish’s lateral line, creating a reality for them that there are smaller fish around and fellow fish are feeding on them. The bigger fish’s natural competitive instinct drives him to want to feed as well. This is how HydroWave Ignites a Feeding Frenzy and gives fishermen a considerable advantage in catching a greater number of fish.
