    Default Best black lights to night fish with


    I have a 2014 Pro Team 175 TXW and wanting to get it rigged up to start night fishing in local bass tourneys. I'm really liking the looks of the Nightfishion rub rail lights but I called today to ask if they make them for my boat and never got a call back. And I called where we bought the boat since they are listed as dealers for them but they say they don't make them for aluminum. I know they do bc they have a post on Facebook saying they make it for most aluminums. Hoping to get a answer for sure tomorrow but does anyone know if they make them for tracker? They have trackers logo on their page so I think they do make them for it. Any other lights I need to look at? I want it to look very clean. That's why I'm really eyeing the nightfishion lights. Plus they are supposedly made here in Ky. Thanks

    We night fish alot. We use an LED light i bought on ebay. It is green ,and i tie it to the front anlet it hang in the water. In no time. The minnows and shad start circling and then we fish . It works like a charm. It cost 110$ but it works great and it is tough

    X2 on the green LEDs in the water - no bugs from it and it works.
    I use radio shack pre fab PCBs and cast my own waterproof LED pods in "castin' craft" pourable acrylic epoxy resin.

    Green lights work best because the green light carries farther in the water than any other light in the spectrum. Good for drawing in more bait. If you want to use a white light then make sure you can submerge it if you don't want bugs gathering around the light. I use green LED light strips around the outside edge of my boat and it works fine for drawing in the plankton and bait fish but when I put an LED spotlight on the water it really draws in the bait. Experiment and see what you need.
