Fishing lights create a circular light pattern in the water that attracts baitfish and nuisance fish and can deter light-sensitive targets.
Large fish will lurk in the shadows outside the light pattern to ambush bait & small fish.
Anglers need their fishing lights to have an expanded purpose. The MacDaddy fishing lights are the only fishing lights built with science.
Science-driven lights are the future, so that anglers can manipulate light-sensitive species to their lines or nets.
The angler must have 100% control over where the light lands & sets. Setting the precise depth using our formula (Depth-8) ensures that light-sensitive targets swim above the light into the unlit water.
The science behind this will backlight the targets so that you see them and they do not see you.
Fish do not care about color LEDs. Light-sensitive nocturnal species do not like ANY light of any color, and they tend to swim very deep on the night of the FULL moon. Why? The natural light from the Full moon is too bright for their comfort.
The most popular fishing light LED colors are green and white. The green is favored because it reduces eye fatigue.
Staring at a bright white light long-term can cause vision problems, headaches, and severe eye fatigue
. The new-generation MacDaddy fishing lights balance the green LEDs and the smaller number of white LEDs to give you a beautiful, soothing green circular light field with extra depth for visuals.
You can enjoy both colors at the same time. The MacDaddy smart light PRO® gives you 7 modes, while ULTRA gives you 8 modes, cycled by a computer chip, with various LED color combinations & strobe frequencies.
Yes. The MacDaddy fishing lights ™ are made with a solid aluminum 12″ frame.
The underwater LEDs are sealed in acrylic glue. The end caps are solid-filled with acrylic glue and will not leak.
The cord length is 33 feet. The longer the cord, the more lumens are lost.
You need a light that fishes any environment, from calm freshwater to hostile saltwater.
The fishing light does not need 10,000-15,000 lumens. Lumens are the marketing talking points vendors use to sell fishing lights as the most essential factor in buying one.
For the most consistent outcome, you need an expanded-purpose light with a vertical, upright orientation, a light-anchoring system, depth control, and light-deployment strategies to guide your target toward the line or net.
The angler is moving away from simplistic “dumb lights” toward science-based MacDaddy smart fishing lights that offer multiple light modes. This makes the light adaptable to most any situation.
Most lights sold have a 25-foot cord. MacDaddy fishing lights ™ have a 33-foot cord.
Each fishing light on the market has a lumen and amp value. Lumen claims are unimportant because all lights lose up to 45% of the lumens after waterproofing the LEDs.
The longer the cord, the more lumens are lost. Never choose an underwater fishing light based on advertised lumens. Choose an underwater fishing light based on features that embrace proven scientific theories.
Fishing lights can go 100 feet, but the demand for advanced depth products is insufficient to support that scale for production. NO science has shown far reaching depth lights necessary for recreational angler.
Battery life varies by model and usage. The MacDaddy fishing lights™ PRO models are 3 amps and 41 watts.
You can use an 8” wide tractor battery (650 crank amps), run 2 lights for 12 hours.
The MacDaddy fishing lights ULTRA ( both single-mode and smart light), 7 amps, and 80 watts require a full-size automobile battery for multiple lights.
MacDaddy Fishing lights™ includes an illustrated booklet that shows how to set up to 3 patterns using up to 3 lights.
Creating a goal-post pattern will help funnel targeted species toward your line or nets.
We don’t just give you a light source (tool); we offer you a toolbox. Proper deployment techniques will prevent you from overpowering light-sensitive marine life.
Do not mix MacDaddy fishing lights™ with other brands because their erratic movement can cancel out the stability of a proper light.
Most light manufacturers are not anglers and only manufacture a light source with NO expanded purpose (light flotation orientation, light anchoring system, depth control, etc.).
Most light builders can only sell a light source in waterproof housing with a cord. They are not concerned about what or how you deploy the light. That alone is a big red flag.
A random light deployment and how it lands could deter a strike or light-sensitive targets, thus sabotaging your night.
The fishing light industry has remained out of step with anglers’ needs for decades because it does not give anglers absolute control.
The MacDaddy fishing lights® provide complete control. The angler can control the orientation of the light in the water column, anchor it in a specific spot, set the perfect depth, and manipulate marine targets using light deployment strategies.
We provide an educational program to make it easier to infuse science into the hunt. In our Education website section, we have both videos and PDF instruction manuals
The best lights are the MacDaddy fishing lights because they are science-based. Deploying a fishing light requires a skill set not developed by other fishing lights on the market, which focus solely on the light source (lumens).
MacDaddy Fishing Lights® developed an educational program to help the angler reach their full skill set quickly.
The research behind the MacDaddy fishing lights enables anglers to anchor the light, set the proper light depth, and manipulate targets using light frequencies.
