What is this lure?

I agree with Ronnie. Water (chemically clean or distilled) is a very bad
conductor. But the "regular" water has some minerals in it that
are making it conductive. Sal****er is the best.
Isn't it amazing? Dry salt is not a conductor. Neither is distilled water.
Mix them together and you have a pretty descent conductor!
The moral: don't try to plug a wet senko in the wall :-)

Water is able to conduct electricity

Water by itself will not conduct electricity. Other things become better
conductors when wet tho.

Tell that to one of our firefighters. We had a basement fire, thick choking smoke, unable to see
anything but a dull orange glow of the fire. He advanced the line near the fire and opened the
nozzle. The homeowner had left the circuit breaker box open with the cover removed. Electricity
went down the hose stream until the transformer on the pole blew, leaving him unconscious. We
carried him out, twitching and scorched. He survived the experience, but you'll have a hard time
convincing him that water does not conduct electricity. It might not conduct as well as other
things, but I for one believe that it does! Otherwise, boom shocking electro surveys wouldn't work.
