Our 12VDC, 100-watt halogen AquaStar,and our 12VDC AquaStar 192 LED have been the #1 selling Flounder and Lobster lights on the market for sometime now...but our NEW AlumiGlo DockPro LED lights will make all other boat mounted flounder lights obsolete!
No more Broken Glass Globes, Loose Stoppers or Lost Tubes!
Our new AlumiGlo DockPro Flounder Lights are a 48" solid piece of anodized aluminum with 2 rows high intensity SMD5050 LED's mounted in channels that are then filled with a super hard, clear epoxy which not only water proofs the LED's, but also protects them. It's impossible for these lights to break! You can actually drive a car over them without damaging them.
Instead of using 4 small lights... you can now use ONE 48" light that will give you more light for Half the Cost!
Above and below are some of the results of using 4 of the 100 watt AquaStar lights attached to a frame I designed. The frame takes about 7 feet of 1 1/4" PVC and 3 T-brackets to make. About $10 for the frame and $110 for the lights. I use two each deep cycle batteries to run the lights and get around 10 hours (2 trips) out of each charge. Another friend bought 2 of the Sea Striker lights and he was out in his boat the same night and the same area I was in. I got 15 in my boat. He got 1. He said the light wasn't bright enough. I'm sure I'll have to order some for him too. For more information and design specs on this setup click here. Dale - Bainbridge Ga.
I love how they always stay just right in the water, no matter how much chop or how much weight is on the front of the boat. With them I can get into water as shallow as 6" and not drag, and as you can see they are completely out of the way of gigging. They are rugged too! Phillip - Rosehill, NC
Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my new Aquastar lights. I have them mounted to my fishing kayak with two Scotty side mount rod holders. This set-up works great, because you can adjust from travel mode to fishing mode in seconds Just slide them in and lock them down or slide them out when not being used. My kayak is a Malibu X-Factor which is one of the more stable fishing kayaks on the market. The lights give me about a ten foot visibility and plenty of light to get the job done. The pictures are my first night out and a couple of hours later. The largest was about six pounds. Thanks Again for a great product Terry Armstrong - Alabama

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to take and submit their pictures. We get calls everyday from other fisherman who ask how others are rigging their lights. If you have pictures you would like to share, click here to send them to us.
The setups below are the most popular rigs because the lights are not mounted rigid...they float freely which prevents the lights from hitting the bottom when more weight is added to the front of the boat or when moving into shallow water.
I made use of my flounder lights to mount in the rear for night gigging. I'd give the You can see the different 90 degree elbows, T-joints and even the end caps where I routed the wires through.
These three photos were taken from different angles to give an idea on how to make maximum use of a crate as I did. I basically made it out of PVC and it's designed to fit inside of my crate that sits between my seat and the battery. These lights are from http://www.fishinglightsetc.com and give me a 10' - 15' radius of light (depending on water conditions). I designed this to sit inside of my crate where I strap them down securely. -Hector
As you can see in this second post how I attached my flounder lights inside everything and attached some high reflective street tape. I also created some dry storage to keep dry such as cell phone, batteries, electronics, etc.
Back to the flounder lights....I used velcro straps almost exclusively in my crate set up because I can always adjust and it's very durable, weather proof and versatile. If you noticed, I have some foam protectors over my flounder lights to keep them from busting in transit. In the second photo, I purposely "raised" one of the flounder lights at the 90 -Hector
As you can see in installing the flounder lights in the crate, it sits between the rear of my crate in my Predator. When the flounder lights are not being used (in daylight obviously) I use them to store my two tackle box trays. Then I fasten the mesh net to keep everything securely in place and this can easily be accessed while I am sitting down.
So there you have it, my rigging idea for my flounder light set up (please excuse the messy garage folks). I refuse to drill or glue anything on my SINK that I love to death. I can raise and lower these babies to adjust the depth and height in water or to keep my SINK from dragging as I paddle from one place to another. There are so many modifications I designed but this is probably the most improvised of the few I designed. A lot of thought went into this and if you need any help, please PM me on this or 2 cool fishing (same screen name) and I'll gladly help you any way I can. -Hector
Trader Jake was nice enough to send us these pictures. As you can see he has made a couple different floating versions that seem to work well for him. If you have questions about his rigs..I'm sure he wouldn't mind answering your questions. Traderjake
You can build a PVC swivel mount like this. (See Pictures Below)
Use a 1.25" PVC Union from Home Depot. You first have to unscrew the union like shown below and put PVC glue on the threads and screw it back together. Do not screw it together real tight or the other side will not turn. Once it is glued...the right side of the union pivots freely in all directions. Mount it to your boat with clamps like show below. Metal clamps would probably work better than plastic. You can then come off of the union with 1.25" PVC to make a frame that will fit your boat.
Glue these two pieces together with PVC glue. Do not over tighten or the opposite side will not turn freely.

OR...you can build one of the many hand held or boat mounted rigs like the ones shown below using our AquaStar Halogen lights or our AquaStar 192 LED lights.
We do not build the entire PVC rigs like shown below. All we make are the lights used in the rigs. The PVC designs shown below were made and sent to us by fisherman just like you! If you have pictures of your flounder rig you would like to share...please email them to us so we can add them to our site!
