One question that we are frequently asked here at T-H Marine is “ What is a HydroWave?”  In short, the HydroWave is an electronic device designed to help you catch more fish by mimicking the natural sounds that attract and activate predatory fish. Built with input from the pros like Kevin VanDam, the HydroWave broadcasts sounds—like baitfish movement or feeding frenzies—to stimulate predatory instincts in nearby game fish. Here is a more in depth look at “How it Works”.

1.) It Imitates Natural Feeding Sounds

At its core, the HydroWave uses pre-recorded underwater audio to replicate the sounds of baitfish activity and fish feeding. These sounds are broadcast underwater through a speaker mounted to the boat, creating an environment that feels more active and natural to predatory fish.

2.) Customizable Sound Patterns

Anglers can choose from a variety of sound patterns depending on conditions and target species. Options include schooling bait, feeding frenzy, and passive bait sounds, along with many more. This lets you match the mood of the fish and the current water conditions.

3.) Easy Boat Integration

IThe HydroWave is simple to install and run. It connects to your boat’s power and uses a waterproof speaker that mounts to the trolling motor or directly to your hull. The compact control head with push-button interface allows for quick adjustments on the fly.

All of this to say that the HydroWave is a tool that brings sound strategy into your game plan while on the water. By imitating the natural sounds predator fish key on, it helps you turn quiet water into an active feeding zone.
