    it is a fishing light that you lower into water. baitfish are drawn in to eat the plankton the light draws in. it works fantastic. you will be amazed at how many baitfish come in. i own one and think it is one of the best things i have ever bought for fishing. you will catch all kinds of fish when you use it. the bait fish swim in a circle around the light all night long and the gamefish are there all night too. its great if you want to get a kid hooked on fishing as they can catch tons of fish and watching the thousands of baitfish (i am not kidding when i say thousands) swimming around the light will keep them interested all night. it really is cool watching them all. my friends laughed when i bought it until they came fishing with me, now some of them bought it. i have caught bass , crappie, white bass, hybrids, walleyes, muskies , catfish, bluegills, rockbass, and trout while fishing with it and in good numbers too. you can also catch all the bait you could possibly want with it , just dip a net in the water. you won't ever have to pay for bait again. i primarily use it when i fish for flathead catfish and have caught a ton with it. it was worth ever penny i paid for it. hope this helps.

    It is a fluorescent light that you put on or near the water which will attract bait fish and then crappie, bass or anything else to eat the minnows. There are probably cheaper light outfits to buy and all will work about the same.

    Source(s): Me,I have looked in to it before.

    It's purpose is to attract bait fish and yes I've heard of it. But i can't remember the name, something secret or secret something I'm not sure? But it doesn't electrocute fish.
