Fishing lights are a simple to make tool that is used to entice small fish. Often, small fish are attracted to the bright, shiny item and as they approach the object, they are often spotted by the much larger fish who follow them and ultimately, become entangled in the fisherman's line.
To create one, you are going to need to get a couple of inexpensive items. First, you are going to need a flashlight. For this kind of project, the best product is usually made of LED because they are known for staying cool. You are also going to need to get a plastic container, pebbles, rocks, or sand, a fish line as well as a sealable bag.
Once you have collected all of the parts for the project, you will notice it is pretty simple to put together. Before you begin, look at the container you have chosen and consider whether or not it is going to be too heavy, you do not want one that is a challenge to get in and out of the water. Your container also is going to need to have a hole near the handle but, this can easily be made if needed. When putting a hole through the container be careful not to inadvertently make other puncture holes.
After creating the hole and running the line through it, test the plastic bottle to ensure that it is not going to leak. It is really easy to tell if a container is going to leak, just watch it when it is under the surface and see if you notice any bubbles. If there are bubbles, your container is taking on water and you will need a different container.
Once you are comfortable that the container you have chosen to use is going to be stable, weigh it down with either, sand, rocks or pebbles. This simply keeps it from floating to the surface on you. Remember, not to over stuff it. Though it is important that it has a bit of weight, you do not want it too heavy.
The next step is to turn the flashlight on and place it inside the bag, the in the container. The bag is used to add extra protection for your flashlight, if the container gets wet inside your flashlight will still stay dry.
Close the cover snugly and make sure the fish line is still secure and lower it under water carefully. Once in the water, try not to disturb it too much because moving it might discourage your fish from coming close enough for you to catch them.
Some fishermen prefer to use two sets of fishing lights when they are trying to catch something. Using two containers just a few feet apart from each other creates a larger area of attraction and is likely to attract more fish. Remember, it is not necessary to put your containers in the water too deep, the fish are interested in attracting are going to be swimming closer to the surface.
