top tip light

[willywetegg]

Good point that Bob, I always make sure I pull the elastic tight enough to have it tight against the rod too. Even in the tip light holder it pulls tight at the bottom end so the line won't get under.

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.

I used to use the ones from the poundland lighters a while back.i also used the 6 inch glow sticks too but stopped using them as there was a few horror stories of people snapping tips off rods because the glow stick when taped on each end reduced the flexability of the rod tip and put more pressure on the rest of the tip section.

i bought a tip light from my local tackle shop a red one it only works when it wants to ! do you think i should take it back? it was only a fiver

Mine was the same, there is a wire running up the side, use a pin or something to pull it out a little & move it to the side just a fraction. Sorted mine.

Think i will try the poundshop lighter trick though

I use the small glow sticks which fit nicely into the holder from the glow bug tip lights.
