How to Turn an Old Rotary Phone into a Fish Shocker
Materials:
- Old rotary phone
- 9-volt battery
- Wire
Instructions:
- Remove the handset from the phone.
- Locate the two terminals inside the phone housing where the handset wires connect.
- Connect the positive terminal of the 9-volt battery to one of the terminals.
- Connect the negative terminal of the battery to the other terminal.
- Twist the rotary dial on the phone to generate an electrical pulse.
How it Works:
As the rotary dial turns, it strikes a bell inside the phone, creating an electrical pulse. This pulse travels through the wires to the battery and creates an electric shock. The shock is strong enough to stun fish but not harm them.
Tips:
- Use a phone with a large rotary dial for better results.
- Ensure the battery is fresh for maximum power.
- Be careful not to touch the terminals with your bare hands.
FAQs:
- Can I use a cordless phone? No, cordless phones do not generate enough electricity to stun fish.
- How far will the shock reach? The shock range depends on the size of the battery and the type of water you are fishing in.
- Is it legal to use a homemade fish shocker? Regulations vary depending on the location. Check with local authorities before using.
- What type of fish can be stunned? Most freshwater fish can be stunned, but some species are more resistant than others.
- How long does it take to stun a fish? The stun time varies depending on the size of the fish and the strength of the shock.
