Posts: 15 | I know this topic has been kicked around some..I have had good luck using this product on browns at night. Strange thing is it seems to work on bats too! | |

Potter County, PA Posts: 144 | I tried it on the backs of spinners when it first came out. Thought it would be great for the late evening/early night spinner falls, but it was useless. When I used enough flashlight to charge it up, I didn't have any night vision left to see in the dark to pick out a tiny glow on the water surface. I also tried it on some indicators for steelhead fishing with the same poor results. | |

Posts: 15 | The main advantage for me is when it is black, with no moon light at all and trout rising it helps me focus. My wife has tried it and sees no difference, of course she usually out fishies me. And at night of course in many cases you can canoe close and a long cast is not needed and seems to be a disadvantage. The game changes so much a night! | |
