    Re: Nite fishing Lights?

    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.

    Re: Nite fishing Lights?

    i personally have a led one a stan sloan super double and one of the bass pro ones. My favorite is the stan sloan and it is because it is more durable and better made than the others. I also think that sometimes too much light which you may get from the ones that light up the sky, can hurt you on getting bit. I have rails on the side of my boat so i bought the rail adapters and the light will not move. I don't like the suction cups because they never seem to work right but it is kind of a matter of opinion. But for my money i will stick with the sloan's.

    I recently purchased the Nite Eye's III , it is a small LED model and works pretty good. It's not as bright as the Nuclieye and Moonlite but they are $150 to $250 as compared to $60 for the Nite Eye's III. I'm done with the long tubular bulb kind, I've too many problems with those. Not had this one all that long though so we'll see. Also my buddy I fished with this past weekend brought one of those BPS recargeable ones and it worked great except the bracket for the suction cup broke the first night that he used it(really annoying). Too bad though, a rechargeable light is a great idea because you can use it in anyone's boat regardless of the plug in the boat has.

    Re: Nite fishing Lights?

    i dont like the stan sloan lites they are too big and what i got and we have had in all our previous boats is rca plugs and we used to have the stan sloan lites but i wouldnt trade my moonlight brand black lights for nothing.... they are high yes but they last forever and take up no space i usually keep mine in the rod locker and they are out of the way and i honestly cant think of a draw back to them.... they use very little power and u can put them away easily they arent bulky.... i have the big one and the little one i use the big one in the front and dad usees the little one..... but they are bright as everythign.... i am very pleased..... u can pick them up at most tackle stores.... they are expensive... but wasnt that rod or reel....its just another part of fishing........

    Not sure in Northern Ky where to buy them several of the tackle stores around S.East Ky have them but as far as the difference. . .my buddy fishes the moonlight and I fish the Nite Eyes, what I have noticed is that the Moonlight is brighter and his verison has white lights as well. Also the construction on the moonlite is more sturdy(aluminium housing) as compared to plastic on the NiteEyesIII. If i had it to do over again I would buy a Nuclieye or Moonlite even though they are $100 to $200 more(depending on the model). If money is a concern go with NiteEyes if not get the Moonlite, in my opinion.

    You can call backwaters in somerset. They can get you one or at least they can tell you how much they cost. Their phone number is 800-316-1410.

    I checked and Tackleexpert.com has, but the phone jack connectors are sold out. I may look into the one with the extra light. That web page is the same as backwaters I think.

    The one draw back to them is they project the light straight out. There fore there is a dark spot down next to the water ,Makes netting a big small mouth at night sometimes a little tricky. The sloans type have a glow instead of a beam of light . Letting you see better under them
