This is the light that Scotty uses on their light systems. I have personally never been very impressed by them however the cost is quite low.


As for the GB I would say we have enough folks so after the Fred Hall madness I will go ahead and set up a buy.

I purchased LED strips but haven't installed them yet, it's on my list of things to do. Not only do they help with visibility but green supposedly helps draw bait fish to the surface.

To my understanding, it isn't necessarily the green that draws them, but some of the lights are coated with a UV spray and that's what draws in fish. Dont quote me on that though

Thanks Siebler!

Fishwhisperer619 03-09-2014 09:36 PM

Another system.

I would have to say the ACR lights as about as bright as a birthday candle, Yes you can get by with it and attach it to just about anything but as for being visible to other boaters off La Jolla or even in the bay with all the city lights in the background good luck. I got this light a few years back and thought it was great because it didn't mess with your night vision, but after last season I went out and upgraded to the Visicarbon Pro by YakAttack and would recommend it to anyone going out after dark. You shouldn't be sitting out in the dark thinking is that boat going to turn soon or do I need to start paddling / peddling my ars off to get out of the way, this is what happened to me last season when a boat came so close without slowing down, I was flipped over off La Jolla at night and the boat just kept going, I was pissed but after thinking about it for awhile and getting the verbal ars kicking from the wife I realized I was as much to blame as anyone. Life is to short be safe out there and make sure your light can be seen when needed.

You cant go wrong, last light youll ever need. 100 hours of burn time on 3 AA batteries and super bright.

If 90.00 is too much also there is the non-folding version with the same light, the VisiPole. These guys start at 50.00 and feature the same light just doesnt fold and doesnt include flag.

On this subject, we have done a few large Group Buys on these products before. Is there any interest in trying to do another? In the past discounts have been as high as 20%. We just need enough people to make it happen.

Soooo are we looking at a potential group buy? How many people would you need minimum for a discount?

I got the yakattack right after lobster season kicked off and my home built stuff failed multiple times. The visipole lasted me many trips and has yet to fail me, I use it almost every time im out because I put a flag on it to be seen during the day. This is a picture of just the reflective tape on the visipole on my old yak
