Abstract
A Light Emitting Diode (L.E.D.) that gives off a monochromatic red light of a frequency that is attractive to fish is attached to a conventional fish hook or lure, along with its power supply battery. A water activated switch can be installed to complete the electrical circuit when the lure is immersed in the water. The electrical leads can also function as the leader to the hook. The L.E.D., battery and circuit components can also be installed inside a fish lure body, and can be used in conjunction with other fish lures such as reflecting panels and tied flies.
