    Question Nite fishing Lights?

    Guys and Gals,
    What is the best nite fishing light system out there for the money. I am planning on doing some nite bass fishing this summer and need all the help I can get. Portable or hook up.
    Thanks,
    Bassky

    Call Fishermans Headquarters in Draffenville Ky, from what I understand Bart has one that he claims is second to none, one he uses himself. He can lead you in the right direction.

    Re: Nite fishing Lights?

    i realy cant say because everyone i have bought the lens covers fall off. they last about a year till they fall of some times not even that long. just bought a portable one that recharges for $50 at bps and the suction cups have already came off. so good luck on finding a good light. and if you find a good one let us know. because i am tired of spending money on them.

    Stan Sloan's are good dependable lights that come in several configurations of bulbs. They are compared to the newer lights alot bulkier.
    I am tempted to try one of the LED's with the RCA plug in they are very small and quite expensive.

    Re: Nite fishing Lights?

    I have been using the Stan Sloan (Zorro Baits) Piggy Back fishing lights which has 1 blue/black bulb and a small white light with a variable brightness control. I have always had good results with this light and could always see the line without any problems other than being bulky. I recently purchased from BPS a set of the Nite III's lights and will try them on my next nightime fishing trip. I also saved my receipt because if they do not perform well then they will go back and I will continue using Sloan lights.

    I am in the process of making my own from u/v led's in a piece of pvc pipe. hopefully will work for less than 20 bucks apiece. If they do i will report back

    Re: Nite fishing Lights?

    Stann Sloan's are the best, they may be bulky but they are tough. I had a plug in first. It got knocked off by the net into the water atleast once a night. Got rained on numerous times. I dragged it up the ramp and through the parking lot of ramp 1 on green at a couple of Clydes Tue. night's . When it fell of and hit the water at 60mph it didnt even flicker till the plug got jerked out of my boat. I'd almost bet money that if I could go down and get it off the bottom of green and let it dry out for a day, I could plug it in and it would still work. I went the next day and got some drop ins. Had them for a year now and love them. Both of mine were the Super Double. A buddy of mine has the piggy-back and I like it too. I had one of those cheap lights that you buy at Wal-Mart first, it made it about 4 trips (I lost both covers for the lights in the first trip) and it became sturcture on Herrington, darn things sink too fast.

    Just about any bait shop can order you one, the cordless run around $109.99 to 159.99 depending on thier mark up and thier wholesaler. I sell them for $109.99 at mine. The plug-in type runs around $69.99 - $89.99. In my opinion it is worth the extra money to get the cordless. If I were you I would check on Ebay, A friend of mine got one for $40.00 and it works just fine. Hope this helps.

    Stan Sloans are great, I have two, one is over twenty years old and still working fine. I tried the others but they did not hold up nor as bright as the Sloan.

    Re: Nite fishing Lights?

    I just recently got a moonlite from Anglers Outpost. I love them LED (minimal power use) and smaller than any blacklight ive seen. They are a little $$$ if you do lots of fishing at night its wort it in my opinion. There is another similar to this light. Links below.
