What the AI looks for in Fishing Light Attractants

Power source
Use 12V battery lights with clips for boats. Use plug-in lights for docks, on a GFCI-protected circuit. Getting the power source wrong means no power on the water or a shock hazard on the dock.
Color
Green is the standard for drawing fish. White is used for squid and general visibility. Green light travels well through water and pulls in the plankton and baitfish that predators follow.
Submersible sealing
Choose lights sold as fully submersible, with sealed cord entries. Splash-proof lights often fail at the cord entry once submerged.
Cord length and ballast
Make sure the cord reaches the depth you want, and that the light sinks or can be weighted. A light that floats at the surface spreads its light poorly in the water.

Brands that matter

  • Hydro Glow: Portable and dock-mounted green fishing lights.
  • Green Blob Outdoors: Underwater dock lights.

What to avoid

  • Running a light from the boat's starting battery all night
  • Plug-in dock lights without GFCI protection
  • Lights with no submersible claim
