best thing by far is "Black" mighty bright tape

yep...Black!!!!

in daylight and failing light it stands out against the background lovely

at night when you shine a headlamp on it it reflects back really bright white!!!

Glad you like it , It is the bizzo when it comes to rod tip illumination,even the likes of Chris Dance one of the top rod builders are incorporating it in new builds, heres the link again ...

http://www.mightybright.co.uk/

Heres a couple of vid clips demonstrating it , the first one gets cut short when he gets a bite




Other products are available too..........
