chemical lights

[andystone]

hi guys, i use chemical tip lights when enjoying a bit of night fishing, but whats the best way to secure these? i've always used cellotape but in damp conditions it can be a little fiddly to attach. any links available to clips etc? 

cheers, andy.

you can now buy then ones that come with a clip to fit the light in, or you can get the small bty powered ones that clip on

ok heres what ive done 1st i bought a glowbug delta and fasten the unit what it slides in to with reflective tape strips on the rod tip after the delta runs out you can buy the starlite sl1 that sits very nicely into it for around 50p each problem solved hope this helps

After several experiments over the years I think I have finally found the answer(s): The clips are made by an outfit called Enterprise Tackle and they have a website if you can't find them in a tackle shop. See here:

They also make a really lightweight job called ET24 but you need a slim tip section for them to fit. I have now tried both for several months and they do stay put with the ET45 being particularly robust. The latter seems a bit pricey at £4 but they do include a couple of starlights and I suspect that they will last a very long time so have no hesitation in recommending them. It's a British firm too and does a lot of carp stuff for those of you who mess about in muddy puddles LOL.

I just bought a new gizmo that sorts the problem for ever and you don't get a neck ache from constantly staring up in the sky. Have a look at this chaps:- www.seabite.com/ It works well too,the batteries are only 10p each on Amazon and it is British made.
