So how much do you feel these lights help? Holds bait to you or just looks cool

Can't speak for those lights but I have el cheapo lights that use batteries and they held bait and I caught fish off em in 6' of water. The ones in this thread seem to be way better than mine so I'm sure they work. Plus they "look cool" too.

Looks good! I'm still trying to decide what battery to use. I had hopes of using a little battery like they use for the battery powered toy cars for kids but I don't think it will light them long enough. My hope was to set the lights up and get away from them.

Use a lawn mower battery. Should work great.
