High-spec models not only allow you to fish in the night time by lighting up the water below, but they also attract the fish so that they swim towards the light.

Why just play music? An LED speaker is a must-have gadget, producing both light and music, ideal for adding an extra bit of fun to your boat parties. The Fusion Signature 10” 450 WATT Sports Chrome Marine Subwoofer features dual-colour diffused LED lighting options and a fibreglass-paper composite cone, perfect for low frequency acoustics.
