But it said so in the book (or I read it on the internet).

This is the best light I've found so far for controlled use while stumbling around in the rocks http://www.inovalight.com/x.html
I use the small single LCD X1 on a piece of old fly line around my neck. About 25 bucks. Light enough to carry a spare. Don't need to worry about battery usage. Seems pretty waterproof. Broke one that they replaced no hassle. Used head lamps for years but find this much better.

I have been guilty of the old flashlight on a twist rope 5/16" trawl ground line stuck on with duck tape. I HAD A 6" TAG END TAPED SEPERATLY. If i fell in the drink i would have flashlight rope, plug bag strap, wader straps. If needed the flashlight strap could be riped off by breaking the duck tape, leaving the plug bag and wader straps to contend with. I mention this so you can picture yourself with all the straps around your neck. Bottom line,,,stay safe

Real fisherman don`t need no stinkin lights

I like certain types of head lamps with a red light and that can be worn around the neck loosely as well as on a hat.

Can we move on an fight about hook removal tools?

They are really good and genuinely waterproof. You pay a little more but they are very efficient and tough. They get bonus points for being local Rhode Island company.

I've been running a similar rig for several years, right down to the old fly line.

Some of my best fishing has been done in the dark without a light.

I prefer a red light only when necessary. It sort of screws things up when someone flashes white light in your eyes.

The only true light to use is a 3 cell D-cell or bigger maglite. You can use it to club seals, boo fish, pesky eels, pesky fishermen.......You can hold it well under your arm pit when unhooking thrashing dogfish and it is bright enough that it allows u to look in the water and be able to see the fishes well. Plus it is water proof. Easy to swim with in the wet suit.
