Title: Lights on traps and tipups?
Post by: Yukoner on Feb 07, 2018, 02:13 AM

For night fishing, what are you guys using? 

Do any of the cheapo LEDs on eBay and such, $10 for a few lights, actually work as advertised?  Apparently, they are off when horizontal and come on when the flag trips up to vertical.

Thanks,
Ted

What about this claim?  " - LED light flash alternatively when a fish bites"

Found for these cheapos: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Night-Fishing-Rod-Tip-Clip-Alert-LED-Light-Baits-Fishing-Bite-Alarm/322431825738?hash=item4b126f374a:g:6PEAAOSw4A5YoguA

Wondering how they activate?

Also, if they work in cold temperatures?

Then, there are these really cheap ones: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/10x-LED-Night-Fishing-Bite-Bait-Alarm-Twin-2-Bells-Light-Rod-Tip-Clip-Alert-Ring/322871633185?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20180124145912%26meid%3D4b16dcef68124e518564228be7a8205f%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D322431825738%26itm%3D322871633185&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
