Gerry’s Pro Tip
Pro Tip: The included lightweight rod tip holder is brilliant and can be quickly taped onto your blank, but for a truly seamless, professional, and permanent finish, we highly recommend whipping it onto your tip section using standard rod-building thread right between your top two guides! Once whipped and sealed with a touch of high-build epoxy, you can easily snap the LED light in and out of the clip in a split second whenever darkness falls, with zero bulk to affect your rod’s casting action.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How do I turn the glowstick on and off?
A: Operation is incredibly simple and reliable. To turn the LED light on, you simply screw the battery compartment cap down firmly to engage the connection. When you are finished with your session, just loosen the cap a turn or two until the light goes out, preserving the battery for your next trip.
Q: Will the weight of this light stick affect the casting performance of my rod?
A: Not at all. Breakaway has specifically engineered the LED capsule and the accompanying mounting clip to be ultra-lightweight and streamlined. It adds virtually zero tip-weight, ensuring your beachcaster or specimen rod maintains its crisp casting action and fine bite registration.
Q: What type of replacement batteries does it use?
A: The unit runs on compact, readily available micro-cell batteries specifically optimized for miniature LED electronics. We stock matching spare batteries right here at Gerry’s Fishing, so you can easily top up your tackle box and ensure you’re never caught out in the dark.
