How To Create Fishing Lights

By Annabelle Newton


Fishing lights are an easy to make tool that helps fishermen draw in small fish. Often, the small fish become attracted to the shiny, bright light and as they swim toward it, they are usually noticed by other larger species who will follow and get entangled in the line.

Just a few low cost items are all that are needed to complete your project. You will need to get a flashlight. Because LED flashlights tend to stay cool, they are the most logic choice for this project. You are also going to need some of your fish line, sand, pebbles or small rocks and a plastic container of some sort that you are able to seal.

Once you have all the necessary pieces, the process is relatively quick and simple. First, make sure you have chosen a lightweight product for your project because you are going to need to be able to pull it back in easily when you are finished. If the plastic container you have chosen does not have holes in it, you will need to make a small hole through the handle so that you can run your line through it. When making a hole, be very careful not to puncture the plastic in any other area.

Thread the fish line through the hole, you will then need to make sure your creation will not leak. Spotting leaks is really easy in water, just submerge the item in the water and look for bubbles. If there are no bubbles visible then there are no leaks. If there are bubbles, you will need to choose something else to create your project.

Once you have determined that the container you have is stable enough, place either some rocks, pebbles or sand into the bottom of it. This is so it will become weighed down and not simply float on the surface when it becomes submerged. Remember, while you do need to add some weight to it, do not add too much, it should be easy to pull out when finished with it.

Next, turn your flashlight on, put it in the sealable bag and place it in the bottle. The plastic bag is meant to protect your flashlight, should your container begin to leak your flashlight will not come into direct contact with the water.

Close the lid on the plastic container tightly and be sure fish line is still attached snugly and then carefully lower the container into the water. Try not to touch the container too much once it has been submerged because it will cause the water to become unsettled and discourage the fish from coming toward it.

A lot of fisherman find it helpful to put two fishing lights when catching fish. Using two at a time, relatively close together creates a larger area to attract the creatures. Remember, keep your containers quite close to the surface. Usually the fish will be closer to the surface of the water.
