Light fishing is not exactly a new modality. Lights have been used for a long time now, not only to be able to have much more lighting at night when black envelops the environment and makes it much more dangerous, but also to be able to exercise a certain influence on fish behavior.
For squid, light fishing is a technique that facilitates and increases the ability to capture good-sized specimens at times when they can be most active.
Deep-sea and deep-sea fishing are two of the modalities commonly used by light as a way to attract and concentrate species around these to multiply the number of bite opportunities.
The LED light as a squid fishing tool
In general, boats have always used various types of lighting and light bulbs to help them catch squid. The hypothesis is that the light can attract the activity of various species on the surface, so the squid may be tempted to try their luck at their own catches.
That is why in many fishing areas that guide their activity at night, they make use of lights to boost your fishing ability.
Advancement of technology in fishing: LED lights
We know very well that traditional white lights have been used in this practice, however, technology has also made it possible to migrate towards more functional, durable lights that can illuminate without generating so much heat, that is, the led lights.
In Thailand, for example, an area with a high demand for squid, Green LED lights have been introduced to facilitate the fishing of this cephalopod, the reason this color is chosen is that it can penetrate much deeper into the water and easily attract plankton and therefore squid.
Thus, both commercial and artisanal fishermen show off these green lights to draw the attention of their main focus of interest, the good-sized squid, every night.
Sport fishing for squid with light
In the market there are various lights designed for sport fishing, this also with LED technology. For example, there is a very special one for bottom fishing such as lights deeplight, that can perfectly penetrate several layers of water to attract squid, without generating heat and with excellent resistance.
There are also the submersible lights that serve very well for those darker nights and that have absolute power and efficiency. The extra use of frontal and chemical lights should not be forgotten, which allow the line to always be well lit to be able to detect movement in the face of a prey bite.
All these presentations and others that you can find on the market have the same objective: to facilitate the fishing of this interesting and mysterious cephalopod. So go ahead and use your LED light on your next squid fishing trip, we assure you that it will be very useful.
