Anyway, it was simply two rods with homemade wooden handles, one being connected to the hot wire of common 120 volt house current and the other to the neutral of that same 120 volt source. As I recall (this was a long, long time ago) the rods were poked in the ground about 20 feet apart and the then plugged into the 120 volt plug. Within minutes, fishworms were coming right up to the surface to be picked up and stuck in the soup can for fishin". Can you just imagine something being like that being made as a class project today? Well......actually, thinking back, I can"t even imagine it being a project back in the late 40s. LOL
