At any time of the year, the night is especially promising for catching large fish. You can put a special
bite signaling device on
feeders and
donks , and the problem of monitoring tackle in the dark disappears by itself. But what about the fishermen using float tackle? They will come to the aid of a smart float with backlight.
What is a glowing “Smart Float”?
The Smart Float is the ultimate bite alarm that makes fishing at night much easier. The main feature is the LED lighting: ordinary luminous floats create a vast area of light, as they glow due to chemical reactions. This is not very convenient, since bright light can scare away cautious fish, and it is not very convenient to watch it. A smart float has good visibility at a distance of 10 meters or more, while the light does not hit the eyes. The smart float provides excellent visibility of fish bites at night, but can also be used during the day. The float signals only if the fish is caught on the hook. In general, smart floats are very similar to ordinary floats – they are also attached to the fishing line using a nipple or cambric. Initially, the battery is not installed in the slot, this is done directly on the fishing trip. After screwing the top part with the battery installed, the circuit closes and the LED lights up. Moreover, it does not shine evenly – the intensity changes from bottom to top, that is, the top of the float shines brighter than the bottom. The float is called smart because it can accurately determine the bite of the fish. Initially, a green LED lights up, which is transmitted to the plastic elements, which ensures good visibility from a distance. But as soon as the fish takes the bait, it lights up red.

The float is not triggered by wind or waves. A smart float allows you to take your mind off fishing and only glance at the tackle from time to time, and not keep a close eye on it. The battery works for a long time. [caption id="attachment_11475" align="aligncenter" width="416"] Disassembled Smart Float

Customer reviews of smart LED floats and practical experience of application
I love night fishing, I mainly caught crucian carp, bream with a feeder, while using a bite sound signal. But this year I somehow got addicted to fishing with float tackle, it turns out to be more interesting, or something. And then there was a problem with signaling devices. I tried a couple of floats with light and even sound alarms – not that. And then I got to this smart float. What can I say, I’m madly pleased, it’s a pleasure to catch with it. If the float lights up red, then the fish is guaranteed to be hooked. On different twitches, when the fish indulges, he does not react. Great item for its price.

In general, this float was invented for night fishing, but with my poor eyesight I use it even during the day. Even at noon, when the sun is shining brightly, I can see everything perfectly. Only manage to drag the fish when it lights up red. The design is solid, how many times I hit him on the rod – do not count. I have enough batteries for all my fishing, I took a lot of spare ones, I used them only once, when I stayed late because of a good bite.

I was choosing gear for myself and accidentally stumbled upon this miracle of technology, curiosity got the better of me and decided to buy, see what and how. This is the best you can find for fishing at night. The light is bright enough to be seen at any distance, but not blinding. I think that with such a float you can even fish at half water or even near the surface, it is unlikely to frighten away the fish, but everything depends on the weight of the float. It really does not react to idle bites, I even tried to somehow pull the rod, the lights are still green. But if the fish is attached to the hook, it immediately works. I’ve been using it for six months on weekends, everything suits.
