Hi Glen,
My idea was to attach some light to the fishing line in order to have light illuminating the jig as it is trailed back to shore by the reel. A friend of mine uses the submersible light you told me about, but I prefer to use a 60Ah battrey and a 50 W halogen bulb to light the place where I fish !!! It's better because like that small fish are more attracted to light and so predators come along. The system I use spreads light on the amount of area I want according to how close I put the light close to the sea and also helps when something is caught so you can see when you can get it out of the water up to land !!!
The submersible doesn't help that much but is good to attrat squids aswell I think.
I was thinking of attaching some small led which weighs not more than 5 - 6 grams not to have my lure sinking too fast. I've seen these flashing jigs once with no success in Malta and have been told they aren't good !! Maybe because they flash, they make the jig too artificial, who knows !! I tend to agree with you that a non flashing light in front of the jig would be better but I cant find such item !!!
Will continue searching, thanks for now.
