Hey Titou, I also am in the carribean. Although we were catching swords without the hydrglow, since using it we get a ton of bait around the boat. And although this maybe coincidence, very shortly after the bait gets to the boat we start getting bites. Its gotten to a point that my crew wait for the bait to show and then start getting pumped to catch a fish

Guys catch a lot of fish without a light but I think more fish are caught with a light.

The HydroGlow is big light. There is another light called the Swordlight by Rumblefish. This is a 24" dual bulb light that puts out more lumens than a 4 footer. It also will not flex as the the HydroGlow does so it won't break like the 4 foot lights will. Simply it's a much more durable light system. Since it has 2 bulbs, you can mix and match your colors. Available color selection is Green, Blue, White. It has a self contained weight and the entire light is 33" long. They are working on an even shorter light (18") that will be more in line with the lumen output of a 4 foot standard bulb.

If anyone needs more info on the Swordlight... please contact me and we can provide some pictures before they make it to the website.

Thanks for the replies guys. I am excited to try this light out no matter what. At least I will be the only one on the island to try it first. If it turns out to be a scecret weapon, I will keep it hush hush.
I want to know if it works for other fish as well. I thought I saw some people bringing tuna up this way. I also got some flying fish nets, and I am wondering if the bait fish really come around that much? Thanks

We use the light while bait fishing all the time.

I have customers that fish inshore with them as well for snook and tarpon. Attracting baitfish is key... once they show up... the bigger fish won't be far behind.

Good luck!
