    Abstract: A fish attracting device which produces both light and sound when immersed in water includes a halogen-filled quartz envelope lamp, the base portion of which is enclosed in an insulating elastomer and then enclosed in a body of material such as lead having significant negative buoyancy. About half of the lamp envelope is exposed to the water and is protected by a wire cage. Conductors extend from the lamp wires through the molded body and can be used to suspend the device from a boat. The lamp, when submerged and energized, produces intense light and a crackling sound which is attractive to fish. A method of making the device is also disclosed.
