    Re: Blacklight

    I bought two of the BPS style Black-lights that work either on (Four "D" Cell) batteries or Plugged into your 12V adapter plug or even able to hook up to a battery with the Clamps. They have both the White Light and a Black light as a choice to use while out fishing.

    But now I also purchased a LED Black-light that has (3) lights on it that attaches to the visor of your hat. This will probably be my most used light system now, cause it will always be shining in the direction I'm fishing. Bought it at the BPS in Clarksville, IN.

    Does the one that clips to your visor work pretty good, does it give enough light to see your line on the bank, at a pretty good distance? I mostly worm fish, and would be lost if I couldnt see my line well. If you dont mind me asking what did you pay for this one at BPS. Thanks

    Re: Blacklight

    I bought one of these 3 LED black lights that attach to the bill of a baseball cap. They are not very bright. This is the light that costs about $10. And it uses two very thin batteries about the size of a quarter or half dollar coin.

    But then again I wear really thick glasses and have a hard time seeing though all that glass at NIGHT!

    I took my new led black light over to the lake after I bought them and waited until it got dark. I wanted to see how the made fishing line shine in the dark. I found out that not all fishing line will shine up in the dark under a black light. The guys that were fishing the bank this night didn't have florescent fishing line spooled on their reels as their fishing line didn't show up in the dark very good.

    I am going to have to buy different fishing line for night fishing. All my fishing line is not fluorescent now.

    Yeah, it helps if you got Fishing line that is Florescent, the new light works great for me...Seems like my night vision is really great anyway, but the new LED Black Light makes my Florescent Line show up mighty fine for me.

    Re: Blacklight

    IMHO, go with the led's. Uses "virtually" zero electricity & will fit in your tackle box. I bought one & haven't used my old one since. There is one listed for sale on The Community Tackle Box board.
