Sport as well as commercial fishermen do it. It's a standard item on every respectable line fishing paraphernalia. Why not us?:confused:

The reflective tape on the gun in segments of 3 to 4 inches placed at gaps of the same measure I.M.H.O. helps break the contiguous silhouette of it.
Since long ago, in addition of a tandem of reflective, silvery little fish stickers on my rail gun (both rubber and alternative pneumatic) I have attached via a green mono-filament foot and a half long a Wilson brand, very realistic squid (big eye and everything!). With a small sinker in-line is keeps it just slightly negative.

In the final approach phase of a hunting dive, I have come to notice that the wandering squid just in front of my gun distracts and in occasions attracts the unsuspecting prey.
Quite a few Amber jacks have strayed from their original path and approach me to inspect. Big mistake!
When I don't need it or to avoid entanglements when loading it just goes underneath the gun with a Velcro.

If flashers are often used on the float line trailing us, why not in front of us?
O.K. I'm ready, shoot away guys!
