As anglers, we all love gear and I would like to talk about some essential fishing tools that we must always have on our bags. Flashlights, knives, and multi-tools should be carried daily and they will help us get through our days on and off the water.<\/p>\n
Here’s why you need to pack them in your fishing bag<\/a> the next time you head out.<\/p>\n Half of our days are covered by the darkness of night and as anglers, we utilize this time of darkness to prepare for the day ahead or pack up for the trip home, so there is a great chance that we\u2019ll need a source of light for us to work effectively.<\/p>\n Yeah, yeah, yeah,<\/em> your smartphone has a built in flashlight and is quite useful, but let\u2019s see you put your phone in your mouth trying to aim the light beam towards the rods you are trying to pack into the rod tube in pitch black darkness.<\/p>\n A prepared angler must have an independent light source to find their way around darkness and is an essential part of kit all anglers must have with them.<\/p>\n Pocket sized flashlights are very handy and are very simple to operate, most have multiple light and brightness settings and use common household batteries.<\/p>\n Since we will spend most the time on or near water, some sort of water resistance is important. Most modern flashlights and headlamps will be at least IPX4 sealed and will survive rainstorms and the normal saltwater spray.<\/p>\n There will be lights made to be fully waterproof and can be submerged so check them out as well.<\/p>\n \u201cWho we are and what we do in our daily lives will help define what our personal kit should be, barebones and lightweight or hardcore and heavy.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Here are some lights that you may want to check out:<\/p>\n Providing 140 lumens and a beam distance of 120m, the Ledlenser is a capable flashlight. It will give you 4 hours of continuous light source before the batteries run out. Not fully waterproof but is IPX4 rated and should survive splashes and rain.1. <\/span>Light \u2013 Handy Flashlights or a Headlamp <\/strong><\/h2>\n
