My store bought ones are 21" long. It takes 10oz lead to submerge them.
They sit about 6" under the surface and broadcast a 15 ft. ring of light.

my lights are white (Brinkman Starfire Q-beams) but I only sink them 2 to 3 ft
and that seems plenty deep.

Man, i made two green lites and they work great...but i put two lb. weights on them each, and they won't even sink....LOL

get with falconsmitty. he made some and says they sink and work very good.

I used a small plastic container and filled it with concrete.I put a loop of wire in the top before it dried. works good fro sinking the bigger lights. and its cheep.

Ms them bait fish are swarming like crazy,great pic. Rcl that's excellent idea,been thinkin on doing that, with a big chunk of lead I picked up but instead i think i'll go with the crete, if you loose it you ain't lost much.

All I have are the Q-Beams that are clear colored also. Thats how it looked for me the last time I went to Blackshear...and only 1 pocket crappie......But I do want to try the green lights just for the heck of it.

i have a 5lb weight on mine and it only sinks one end. the top floats right at the surface. with the ballast on top the light starts about a foot below the surface.
