top tip light

[FISH4T]

top tip. why spend £3.50 ish on glow bug tip lights and they only last few fishing trips, or them battery tip lights waste of YOUR MONEY. right go to poundland buy in packs 5 lighter for a pound with blue LEDS on the under side. unscrew the back plate off and there you go one tip light which costs you 20p thats all and lasts for a long time. just put a bit of electricians tape round it to make the conection when you tape it onto your tip.

only 20p per light you can even use a new one every time you go fishing and they are bright as hell. thanks

On the same lines, go to poundland and buy 2 wheel lights for a pound (they fit on your car tyre dustcap and flash when moving) you get 2 lights and spare batteries, tape them to your tip and they only flash when your rod tip moves.

I quite like the idea of the dustcap lights Davy sometimes if you have a bright tip light it can give you a bad head staring at it all night, especially when it doesn't move lol.

Ive got a box full and they are all tempremental its the contacts in the tip of the light have a play with them and it normally sorts it out..

spot on lads

Someone usually makes a post about the ones at Lidl when they go on sale Steve so just keep your eyes open. They are all I have used for ages now, sick of struggling to get some of the tip lights to work at times, at least if you put a few of the chemical lights in your box you will never be stuck. A few inches of bait elastic and it's sorted. Remember to break and shake it before you fasten it to your rod tip though
