Lighthouse Lures - Water Activated L.E.D. Squid Lures

It's no secret that fish are attracted to light and that's why Lighthouse Lures sells electronic squid lures that light up and flash when they are submerged in water. The squid lures come in 7" and 9" sizes. The lights can be replaced and can last up to 150 hours. They are great for all types of rockfish, lingcod and halibut. Many guides and sport-fishing anglers are now using these squid on a regular basis with great success.

Many fish are naturally attracted to positive voltage fields. Lurecharge has taken that to the next level and created a line of 'voltage tuned' lures. These high quality, North American made spoons keep their shape and are available in both fresh and salt water applications. Voltage anodes last at least 100 hours with a minimum 0.6 volts in salt water. All voltages are naturally created. NO BATTERIES! Lurecharge says, ‘They work. Over 50% of our 2016 online sales came from repeat customers or friend referrals.’
