I just found a package of EChips (2 each of red/green/silver) while working on my 'new" boat.

Has anyone ever used these, and what do you think of them...

BTW, did a search on the forum and no results returned.

Never heard of them, that should say something, lol.

I found the EChip company doing a google...
Wonder how many of you guys are using them but to embarrassed to say so
then again maybe they actually work...

I limited out on poon yesterday using e-chips stuffed up a mullet’s hoo ha fishing 0-25’ of water in Zephyr Cove.
To be serious, they sound like a gimmick but who knows!

but who knows!

Maybe the shadow knows,
but i can't get him on the radio anymore.

I've had a thought

I'm going to take one of these things out of the package today and (their being so small) tape it to one of my digital electric gizmo's, then give it a shake to see if it actually gives off an electric pulse.

Kind of like a quail?

Too heavy for my flies........

I'm sure that grouse and quail feathers are no heavier than chicken
as fer the EChip it weighs about the same as a small led eye.

The testing is complete.
My thought was that it might just give me some kinda read with the meter set to milliamps (1/1000 thousandth of an ampere.
No joy.
Set to dc volts, nada ac, nope
all other settings = nothing

on another note,
you can generate electricity by passing a magnet threw a coil of wire. One of those things that Yoda was right on, "size matters not".

Of course, tiny magnet would = tiny amount electricity generated.

Think your money might be better spent elsewhere.
