5th post on this thread...yes, I have tried them...only down side I have found to them is they are not snag/stump proof...if you rub against a limb, they will tear/break and the light stops at the break...

... have been tinkering around with a homemade Green LED Fishing Light. Really liked the fish attracting ability of the fishing lights we saw while on the Coast. Decided to make one that was portable and could be set under a float. Here is our prototype. Waiting for the glue to dry. Once dry, gonna have to "test" it! Video Clip.

I just installed 2- 5 meter sets of those green LED lights myself. Can't wait to check them out.

Last night field tested our Homemade Green LED Fishing Light. Things started out shaky when the Float Rig failed. We needed to weight it down since the light was too buoyant to sink. No worries though... with duct tape and decoy weights we were able to sink the light. The light stayed water tight and shown brightly; was able to attract a few bait fish in the short time we were there! Video quality is poor but good enough to see a few bait fish darting in/out of the lighted area! With a few more adjustments, we should be able to use the light on our next night fishing trip! Video Clip.

Tough time getting out to go fishing... been tinkering with the Green LED Fishing Light we made last year. Made a mod to the battery pack - basically discarding it and using a 6v battery instead. Going to make another one; just waiting on components in the mail. Today's Video.

More on the LED Green Fishing Light. Did a test on a bread board, still need more parts but it looks like the circuit is going to work! Today's Video.

Components came in; did some testing. Have more to work to do but here is the first of a series of articles that describe how we made a 9v version of the Green LED Fishing Light. The first one - Part 1, details how we made the LED Circuit. "Making a Green LED Fishing Light - Part 1 LED Circuit"!
