How To Craft Your Own Fishing Lights

By Annabelle Newton


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 make these helpful tools, you will need a few relatively inexpensive items. First of all, you will need a flashlight. The best type to use in this case is LED because they have a tendency to stay cool to the touch. You will also need an airtight plastic container, some rocks, pebbles, sand, fish line and a sealable plastic bag.

Once you gather all the necessary parts for your project, the process is quite quick and easy. First of all, take notice whether or not the container that you pick is too heavy because you do not want it to be difficult to remove from the water when you are finished with it. If the one you have picked does not already have a hole in the handle, you will need to create one so you will be able to put a line through it. When you are creating your hole, be really careful that no other part of the container gets punctured.

After you have successfully made the hole and put the fish line through, test your creation to see whether or not it is likely to leak. It is simple to tell if a container will leak, just watch under the surface of the water and take notice of whether or not you see bubbles rising to the surface. If you see bubbles then, unfortunately your container is leaking and you will need to begin again with another type of container.

Once you determine that the container is stable, place some rocks, sand or pebbles into the bottom of the container. The purpose of this is to weigh down the container so it will not float back up to the surface. Keep in mind, while you are weighing it down, you do not want to make it too heavy to get back out of the water.

Turn your flashlight on next, put it in the plastic sealable bag and then inside your prepared container. The bag is simply for the added protection of the flashlight, should it come in contact with water, it will not be as likely to be destroyed.

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.

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.
