Beat me to it - I was just retrieving the link!

Advice - Tip light?

If you night fish what are you using, some form of tip light or tip tape and a torch?

I just don't use as tips are too thin being full carbon for holder to be a firm enough fixture.
Ive made a rechargeable light that clips on tripod leg to show up tips anyway
Have a couple of my old rods that have fitting so could use but only take rods out for a Birthday treat!

I will have a look at mine just in case.
I think the Imax will be okay, not sure about the Unabomber or the Agility surfs.

Glowsticks are the ones I use, nothing worse that a battery one when the battery dies.

They last for several sessions if you put them in the freezer after using them; it slows the chemical process which will start again when they warm up..

I have not seen them in either Lidl or Aldi for a while. They are normally in when they do their annual fishing gear few days.
I have a couple of boxes, now very old and they seem to have gone off, not much light from them when activated.

I am thinking I might have to do the opposite as cold slows the reaction and makes them last longer. Might pop a couple in the oven when the missus is not about.

A nice mess of blobs at the bottom of the oven - go for it

Lol, a warm heat not 200c and on a bit of tin foil.

At 200c you could do a frozen Greggs sausage roll at the same time

Radiator top might be a better option.
