Avoid LEDs for attracting baitfish thy work so so. You need"grow lights" like metal halide...Raab Floodzilla 400W or big Phoenix 1500W. Be careful how much weight you put up and how high depending on the size of your boat it will effect the motion. I have LED worklights from Rigid Industries and they are very high quality. You can also look at Magnalight, very high quality too.

If you want to raise bait you need a generator and MH or HPS lights. LEDs are great for lighting up your cockpit and supposidly dont draw bugs.
