The EFB1L lake fishing machine in an earlier format was first introduced and demonstrated successfully at the IFM Conference held at Girton College Cambridge in the 1980s.

The set includes 5 components which are sold as a complete set. The parts include the control box EFB1L, the generator which is specially converted for electric fishing use, a transformer mounted in a waterproof case, the anode and cathode.

The EFB1L is normally used for electric fishing from a boat where space is at a premium. The equipment is typically operated by a team to control the boat, operate the anode and net fish as required.

The transformer enables 6 ranges of voltage to be selected so that electric fishing can be successful in waters of low or high conductivity. The maximum output voltage range is 0-400 volts DC on the top range. If the water conductivity is such that a range of 0-200 volts DC is most appropriate then a blank plug (supplied with the set) can be fitted to the control box thereby removing the need for connecting the transformer.

Full instructions and a 3 year warranty, subject to conditions, are supplied with each machine.
