Mr Anderson I too am getting into the LED thing myself at H/C. I also have been stuck on starfires for along time at the canal. The starfires work good im most situations and excel in dirty fast deep canal water, only because dirty water kills a deep drop light field.

I have been having good results with the LED in light currents deep droped on standard rope loop lines. These light lines are taking 8 pds of lead just to stay hooked on the bottom in slow currents. In faster currents at the canal it will take big weight to make them stay put on the bottom. I have made me weights in 2 pd increasements from 4 to 14 pds. In currents at or around 3 grand in the canal it will take all 14 pds or more I think to make them hold.

Use plastic zip tie to attach your light to your line loops incase you snag bottom so you can break it and get your light back.

I have tried to mix the LEDgreenies with starfires in dirty water but the two colors mess with your head. I would stick with one color if you can. On some nights when the water is dirty and flying you may need to just use the top starfires as the white top light will help you see the shrimp better in the dirty fast water. I would keep both lights on the boat, more weapons the better.

Maybe soon we will have a slim LED light available for this fast dirty water stuff.

One thing is for certain when the current is slow at the canal the LEDgreenie deep drop rig kicks butt and will blow away any top light system !

Good luck.
