The CAGI Sonic Attractor® is a multi-patented sound-emitting device designed to attract fish from as far away as 100 meters (far greater distances than any visual stimulation). Unlike other ‘noise making’ devices that claim they attract fish, the CAGI Sonic Attractor emits sound in the proven frequency range that fish can actually hear. All other sound emitting devices emit sounds/noises way above or below the hearing range of fish (e.g., 100 to 1,000 Hz). Research conducted by the United States Navy and the U.S. Department of the Interior confirms other studies by City University of New York, Dept. of Biology, Neuroscience and Cognitive Science Program (NACS) which clearly reflect and define the frequencies that fish can in fact hear. (Note, by way of comparison, the human hearing range is between 20 and 20,000 Hz.)
The CAGI Sonic Attractor is the only product on the market that is designed and proven to match the frequency range that fish instantly recognize as ‘prey’ (an injured, dying or distressed fish). On an instinctive level, the feeding fish moves towards this stimulus with the expectation of finding a meal. It is primed and ready to strike the angler’s favorite bait or lure, which is attached 12” to 18” behind the CAGI Sonic Attractor.
To verify it’s design and effectiveness, the CAGI Sonic Attractor has been scientifically tank tested utilizing advanced hydrophonic sensors and frequency analysis to ensure that it does indeed emit the correct frequency range at an adequate volume. Additionally, initial field tests have shown the CAGI Sonic Attractor can generate 300-800% more fish being caught.[i]
The graphs above are from two separate scientific tests done underwater with sophisticated hydrophonic technology. (time across the bottom, sound up the side) The red/yellow vertical area in the middle of the left chart and the yellow dots between the 2 black lines in the graph on the right both demonstrate that the CAGI Sonic Attractor emits sound between 100Hz and 1,000Hz. depending upon the speed of the CAGI Sonic Attractor. This is exactly the desired frequency range that “fish hear and respond to”.[ii]
How do you know what frequency fish are attracted to?
The Defense Department uses ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) sound transmissions to communicate between submarines. Environmental concerns on the impact of such frequencies on ocean marine life prompted the Navy and the Department of the Interior to do environmental impact studies. These studies clearly indicated that many varieties of fish are attracted by certain frequency ranges. Also, in researching the use of variable sound frequencies and volumes as a potential shark repellent, it has been found that while there is no sound that actually repels sharks or any other fish, there are sounds that actually will attract them. Both studies produced data that supports the theory that fish are attracted to sound between 100Hz and 1,000Hz... exactly the frequency at which the CAGI Sonic Attractor emits sound.[iii]
What about all the other sound emitting lures?
There are numerous sound and/or noise emitting lures on the market today; however, only The CAGI Sonic Attractor can demonstrate scientific and practical proof that it works. The design of other nose making devices scientifically inadequate and mostly focused at catching fishermen, not fish. Other noise making lures do not generate a frequency within the audible range of game fish. The CAGI Sonic Attractor is designed to emit sounds that can attract fish over 100meters away.
It is not "just another lure," but rather a device that makes all lures work better. Hence the CAGI Sonic Attractor has a stronger value and is more readily accepted by all fishermen since they will not have to discard or replace their “favorite or lucky lure”.
[i]Field testing has been completed by a number of different fishing experts in a variety of venues. Dan Greene has tested many generations of prototypes fishing primarily for trout and Walleye. Tests were generally done at timed intervals fishing with the CAGI Sonic Attractor and an equal interval of time fishing without it. Controlled, scientific evidence is not possible in “the wild”. However, all experiential evidence is overwhelming convincing. The final design of the unit consistently demonstrates a minimum of 300% increase in catch rates.
