Title: Glow sticks
Post by: Eric Roberts on November 09, 2010, 04:15:44 PM

Hi UA anglers,
thought I'd just share with you anglers that fish at night a little trick I've used for a while. I scotch tape a small glow  stick to the tip of my rod so that I can see any action on my line in the dark.  Any small amount of movement is highly visible and the glow sticks work for many hours and are not expensive.

My son gave me a pack of glow sticks he bought in Dubai and these last for 12 to 15 hrs. I fished with one from around 8pm and next day at lunch time went into garage and it was still glowing in the car boot. :sml:
