Wow 200$, thats quite a margin considering LEDs are pretty much dirt cheap. I'd rather buy a hooker.

$200 is a lot of real squid instead!!

referring to the technology of the lights in general. This is a 200$ squid we're talkin bout.....

Ivan11 · 02-16-2007, 08:58 AM

Just stick a glow stick in a rigged squid !!that will save you 200bucks... used to do it in the 70`s ... it works !

Business must be extreemly good for you Joe, at $250 a pop the guy is F'in nutz. I get pissed when I loose a LP light, hook, and wind-on. That alone cuts all profit of a guided trip. Now add another $250. WTF are you thinking?

$250 would just about pay gas and expences for (2) sword trips on most guys boat.
My opinion a total waste of $ wether they work or not.
