Abstract
An improved lighted fishing float is illustrated using a two colored high intensity light source which may be composed of either one duo colored high intensity light emitting diode or two separate colored high intensity light emitting diodes. The entire upper section of the casing is illuminated making it easier to be seen from greater distances than any other lighted fishing float on the market. The color of the light switches in response to a fish contacting a hook attached to the fishing float. The upper portion of the casing may have a magnifying lens to intensify the light beam.
