SmokeRise1 Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Does anyone have a good trick for attaching those mini-glow-sticks to your rods for night fishing? I know the packs of sticks they sell at Walmart have connectors in them, but I bought 100 loose ones on ebay and am looking for a way to attach them without damaging the rods. Quote
shootermcbob Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 how about a couple rubber bands...top and bottom of each glow stick? obviously, the bands could not interfere with your line. Quote
jeosbo01 Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I use black electrical tape to attach them to rod tips or to bobbers when I'm night fishing, I always have a roll of the tape in my tackle bag now. Quote
SmokeRise1 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Posted February 18, 2010 I'm going to try hot glueing a short piece of clear tubing to the rod. I'll bring one of the glow-sticks to Lowes to see what size I need. Quote
bwell Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I always use the bells that attach to the tip of the rod, those work well for me. Quote

My buddies and I have a neat trick. You can use the connectors that come in the pack. I take a little hook and put it through the rubber connector then I put the glow stick in and I pull some line down from my 2nd or 3rd eye up and hang the hook on it. The glow sticks work great, because they show the subtle bites. Quote

Well, if the fish are not biting you could always just tie some line to the sticks, swing them around and have yourself a good ol' fashioned RAVE right there on the bank... Yee haww. ;D Quote

Red Bear Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 For night fishing for cats i bought rods with glow in the dark tips on the end or rods that are white and easily visible. i even have one that takes batteries and lights up the entire rod Quote
little_stephen Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 mini zip ties..... two of the attached to the tipe of ur rod one at each end of the mini sticks should do the trick. and theyre really easy to remove! Quote
