| headlight advice Hi with the millions on the market are there any headlights that anyone would recommend, or alternatively, avoid? We don't fish that often so won't want to pay a fortune - say less than £20? Many thanks Simon     |

| Re: headlight advice I use this one as a back up and is quite easy to find at night and put on  and it's bright and dirt cheap http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-ULTRA-BRIG...item3efdfcc55a __________________ Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.

| Re: headlight advice When money is avail and you want the best by one of these, Tiga, they are the bizz no need for lanterns messing with mantels etc. Ive had this one to many years to remember, great investment for those very busy night sessions later on when the fishing is at its peak.  |

| Re: headlight advice Princeton Tec Apex is my first choice, paid about 70 quid for it and it features a "low light" led setting which is great for baiting up and even watching your rod tip and also a much brighter version of the same for when you need a little more light, moving on from that there are two flood light settings which are incredibly bright and offer "long range" night vision and are fantastic for picking out your fish on the retrieve or finding your way back across rocks. This light is small, light weight and very ecconomical to use and has a built in battery low level warning light that flashes red when your AA cells need recharging. Check it out as its well worth a look. |

| Re: headlight advice Sorry i forgot, headlamp has 2 settings one for baiting up and one if you want to see the next country on the far side of the water. But i find when going to a rock mark the 2nd light lights up the whole area and safety 1st. Wee tip at night put a wee startlight on top of your rod and you will save power. Tiga lasts hours if left fully on price £170 i think, its the better ni battery. Tight lines. £20 will buy you sh.ite. |

| Re: headlight advice Forgot to say that I also have a cheap LED light that I bought off of Ebay for less than a tenner and must say that for watching the tip and for baiting up it's more than good enough but isnt enough when trying to illuminate a wider area. Makes a good back up and is very ecconomical to run with 3 AAA cells that seem to last for ever. You can buy similar at Argos. |
