Have any of you used lighted perch eyes to draw them in - wiperhunter2 - 02-02-2024

I ran across this site that sells those small lights that looks like a perch eye, just bigger.

This one has several different colors, what color do you think would work the best? Red, green, white, blue, or yellow.

I got some that are attached to a 1 1/2 in. gold piece of metal like a cast master. they cycle though the colors when wet. I've used them a few times ice fishing , but can't say that they helped being used as an attractor. Nice idea.

So they don't stay one color? Did the bait go below the eye or above it?

Seems green and yellow are always good colors when it comes to fishing. Cool idea.

They flash red, then green, then white, then repeats until they dry.  put the bait where ever you want. No hooks on it.

Why does this make me think of Lord of the Rings....?? Maybe it will mesmerize all the fish.... I'm not sure if the light really works, but I do know the glow works, so maybe... Let me know if it's a got to have item... Later J

I haven't ordered one yet because I'm not sure if I will even go ice fishing this Winter, the way things are looking but for less than $2 a piece, I'm still thinking about getting a few for next year.

Might make nice earrings.  Just be sure to wear the right shade of lipstick...and makeup.


RE: Have any of you used lighted perch eyes to draw them in - SkunkedAgain - 02-06-2024

With the current inflation you can buy them for $2 this year and sell them for $10 next winter... But I'm afraid the ice isn't looking good this year... Hey I just went past Willard and seen a boat out in the area you usually fish, was that you? I waved as I went by in case you didn't see me... Later Jeff
