ABSTRACT:
A fishing apparatus including a light source for illuminating the bait while not scaring fish. Batteries within the handle of a fishing rod are connected by electrically conductive fishing line to a light source positioned to shine onto the bait within the water. In one embodiment, the light source emits ultraviolet light and the bait exhibits fluorescence so that the bait is visible to fish while light from the ultraviolet source is not. In another embodiment, a switch on the handle of the rod permits the light source to be shut off and the bait is phosphorescent so that the light source shines onto the bait and then is shut off and the bait continues to be visible. If desired, a second light source can be positioned in a float to enable locating the bait.
