Advice Tip light?

[Thrasher]

I bought this pair of Daiwa High Performance Beach rods for £50 at a bootsale off an ancient bloke giving up his beloved beachcasting.

I'm surprised that no one on here has come up with such ingenuity? or is it miserliness? or Stupidity??

Saves messing about with headlamps, glow sticks, torches and the like??

An interesting solution although I don't think I would be keen on having that taped to my rods all of the time.

Put a solar panel on them and a rechargable battery.
Like the idea but looks terrible. Still could always mix it up, put xmas lights on at the right time of year

And are you just taping them on J?

there it a holder with them , but a bit of tape as well

I use a tip light called a glowbug comes with a holder there very slim line and don't catch the wind as some big bulky ones my mates use. I whip the holder on with elastic cotton. I get about 7 or 8 good sessions out of them and use the same holder all the time.The holder can also take a snappy light as well.they cost around a fiver I go through about 6/7 a winter season. Better than using all the power in my head lamp.

I use these……bright, slimline and replaceable batteries. They come with a holder but can be whipped onto the top of the rod with insulation tape to make them even less intrusive.

They show up if you search "tip light" in Ebay uk. The ones that Phis said he uses to.

Yes it is mate.
A bit more expensive than a lot of them out there, half the size but very bright.

I cannot do the poll as I use tip tape, tip light, head torch and Northstar lantern!

 

[Wolf]

Thanks Goatfish, & Thrasher I will check them out

Have a look at the feed back before purchasing

I've used these DELTA lights for a good few years now.
I've whipped the holders (the right way round) on to all my beach rods.
Choice of colours -red is probably brightest but they all work well- and batteries are economical enough and the duration is good.

I’m afraid of the dark!

For scale

I have been, I maybe need fresh tape as I am not getting them tight.

Use butchers bag sealing tape then
ive got rods that have the rings taped on to them that have been used for years without wrapping the rings on with thread
doesnt stretch and is a very important item to keep in your box or bag when fishing
gets you out of more shit than leccy tape
