it seems to work the same way the fiber optic sights for guns and pins on a bow work.

Pretty cool and downright inventive.
If there is enough light in the water, it might attract attention and result in a strike.
You oughta catch a bunch of fishermen with that innovation, too!

You could be on to something.
