Interesting. I've never used those. But I'm certain you are correct about the sparkling attracting fish as I've usually had more success with sparkley lures than non-sparkley ones.
I won the green ones you gave away in a drawing a couple years ago. They were designed sort of like a spoon with a ring at each end. I tried placing it right above the lure, and about a foot above the lure. I used several different lures and live bait when my son and I went fishing. We are in Northwest Louisiana, and fish in bayous and lakes. The murky water must have reduced the effectiveness of the green light, and as you point out in this video, the green LEDs flashed slowly. My son managed to snag and lose a couple of them, and the rest eventually stopped working. My success is the same, with the flashing LEDs and without. I leave them on my casting rig though, because the weight makes for a long and precise cast every time!
I’m very glad you experienced this lure with some sort of success. I tried them around Lake Michigan with many different kind of lures trying to catch salmon and didn’t make any difference ( must say those days I failed with everything else, eggs , live bait, whatsoever) However, l believe in salt water may have a better chance to succeed! Regards. Fred.
@@KayakhacksFishing I used the bigger ones the same you have since a couple of years. I put everything behind them... I am pretty sure they work good catching calamari...not with salmon.
Very interesting, might just have to give these a go. Just out of curiosity, what was the water clarity like in the areas you fished with these lights? Where I am, the water is extremely murky and mudded up, would be interesting to see if these light still have an impact in under these conditions.
Awesome! The price of these just jumped 10 fold after people start looking these up, lol. I watch your videos, but noticed this one featured in the Kayak Angler Magazine newsletter today. That's pretty expensive to have 1 of these shipped to Canada. Would be almost $20 for s single light. Must be other sources.
Wow... that is a rip off. I also got them in bulk from Alibaba.com. But, you have to buy in bulk there. The more you get the less the shipping is per piece. Before doing that, you should confirm they work for you. Here is an example: www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Fishing-Led-Night-Light-Led-Fishing_62187881424.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_title.6ad76ca3J7kSBL&s=p
I have never done ice fishing, but I think it is worth a try. Just get a few... no big investment and try one hole using the LED and another the regular way. Let me know how it turns out.
Yu probably mean the fish can see the CONTRAST between the "black" lure and the surrounding water column ( partially reflective because of debris) .......honestly what passes for Science these days.
Very illuminating! Glad you found out the way to make them produce.

Yes, I moved on from the larger ones to these smaller. I do have a hack with the larger ones I want to try when the fish are more activel.

Interesting. Did you use the very small LEDs that I show? I tried using larger ones and they did not seem to work as well.

@@fredfable5655 lol! maybe a blinking hand grenade is the answer!
Adding it to my arsenal thx

It was a mix. Sometimes clear and sometimes a little murky. Nothing really muddy.

Lighthouse lures makes an led squid that I had great success with fishing halibut and black cod.
What are your thoughts on using these ice fishing, (the water in my area under the ice is a very dark color),
I have never done ice fishing, but I think it is worth a try. Just get a few... no big investment and try one hole using the LED and another the regular way. Let me know how it turns out.
@@KayakhacksFishing what color you feel i should use?
@@HOTRhuntinontherock We concluded that the multicolor flashers are best instead of using a single color
How to charge this?
They have an embedded battery that is not chargeable.
How do you turn them on?
They turn on when they hit the water.
How to make,? 🙏
You have to buy the LEDs. You can get them from eBay or AliExpress
