Quick take

Water-activated LED lures for deep drop trolling and jigging on halibut, tuna, and swordfish.

This five-pack of LED deep drop lights comes in the Red Light color and turns on by itself when it enters the water. It works as an attractor on a deep drop rig, with spear point styling and a molded ABS shell. At 0.6 ounces for the pack, it adds almost no weight to the rig.

Best for

  • Offshore jigging at night or in deep water
  • Attracting halibut and tuna with light and depth

Skip if

  • You fish shallow water or daylight only
  • You need a replaceable battery

Strengths

  • Automatically activates when wet, conserves battery while dry
  • Flashes continuously even at extreme depths
  • Durable hard plastic and corrosion-resistant construction

Trade-offs

About this type

A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.

Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
