EFBP400 Backpack

The Backpack Fishing Machine for low conductivity waters

The EFBP400 is a Backpack electrofishing machine designed specifically for small streams up to 1500 mm wide and 500 mm deep with low conductivity.

It is supplied complete with frame, straps, 2 batteries, 2 chargers, anode and cathode.

Key Features:

The EFBP400 is a very effective, powerful and compact backpack electric fishing machine designed specifically for catching fish and invertebrates in small streams up to 1500 mm wide and 500 mm deep. Part of a 2 model backpack range, the EFBP400 is for streams with lower conductivity waters such as in Devon and Cornwall and the north west of England and Scotland.

The backpack has a frame and shoulder straps with a quick release waist belt and is supplied with 2 sets of batteries, 2 chargers, anode and cathode.

The EFBP400 can also be used as a bankside model if required with a long cable anode and in this case the safety tilt and float switch circuits can be disconnected by using the switch provided.

The anodes and cathodes supplied with this machine use special compact waterproof connectors. For bankside use a 50 or 100 metre cable can be supplied fitted to a strong cable drum.

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