rod tip lights ,whats best ?

[The Great Wallsendo]

I prefer the battery tip lights (mk 4)...bright as a lighthouse

...downside is they cost a bit more, but it's hourses for courses in this game

cheers gazza , i was looking at them in a shop yesterday and the whipping them on put me off. i thought a shop would have to do it for me

use electricians tape...a lot easier

[eddie t]

i use a battery tip light and use electrcians tape to tape the housing on and i always have a few battery with me just in case but i always check it before i go fishing.

A glowbug holder takes chemical snap lights perfectly, I got a million..( slight exaggeration..) from china on ebay for about three quid...

[treeboa]

used both, batts deff brighter than snaps, if bright moonlight i use battery ones, if really dark i use the snaps

[phill_itofish]

Glow plugs are the way forward, they only cost a few quid and last 5 - 6 sesh's easy, then bin them and get a new one straight into the same holder..
bobs you mothers brother

I have used both and prefer the glow sticks which you snap. The battery lights are just to bright for my eyes. After a while it can be uncomfortable. Glow sticks on the tip of my rod with some moonlight or stars in the sky behind are better for me. Usually just tape the glow sticks on. I tend to fish with two rids so i can compare them.

This year i will have to think about the two rods routine as it can be hard work.

All Tip lights can do strange things to the heed when you've stared at 1 for about 5 hours - I like to de-focus my eyes (not hard usually after 5 hours freezing the nuts off ) and make 2 little separate lights, it's almost like having a quiet little friend with you. Then I see how far apart I can get them to go, and bring them back together again. Then I stagger to the car with a me me megraine and blood coming out of my eyes.

What ever happened to a clothes peg with a noddy bell attached on a spring. I know what happened on a crowded East Durham beach on a regular basis back in the 70's. One man gets a bite and 23 cups of coffee, pipes, rollies and the odd tab goes flying as 23 pit yackers storm down the beach in turned down wellies and donkey jackets to find only one of them has a bite - and he's missed it anyway and reeled everyone elses lines in.

Tilley lamps next for the treatment

I have tried both the chemical lights and the battery ones and found them both OK but now just prefer reflective tape and me LED light from me headlight. I get about a months worth of juice off me headlight on the LED's so there's no choppin and changin of lights and always as bright as a button when the light catches the tape.
