Planner board lights

Anyone use them last year? I was thinking of picking up a set, but ran out of time or money.

Just wondering if they would the cost

I ran the church ones two years ago with success, this year we dont stay late or go early enough for them. I dont really run any lead in the dark anyways, fish like the agressive riggers and divers first thing so why bother with the long stuff

I ran the Offshore ones on a friends boat. I like to keep it down to one or two boards a side until daybreak.

I have off shore board and put flags on them. Then i order the 4 inch light sticks from Glow Works. I get the better quality ones not the cheap ones. Last time i got a bag of a hundred they were like 15 cents a piece. I then ziptie the glow stick to the flag arm going upright. This is the best thing i have found yet. They are really bright and you dont have to search for that little light when they are out a ways from the boat. Here is a link to the ones i have been buying. they have gone up some since the last time i bought them: http://gloworks.com/pdshop/shop/item.asp?itemid=1340

I drilled a hole in mine (3/16" I think) and slide a light stick in. Had to seal the hole hence the 3/16 instead of 1/4 but it works very well. A 10 cent light stick lasts as long as I'm out in the dark.

I was going to go lights but then a buddy of mine came on board and put some of that highly reflective D.O.T tape on the board.(the white stuff) I kid you not, if you look to the side with a hat light or get a small set of LED spreader lights and point them to the side they light up like a beacon. I taped all 7 sets and love them, try it you may like it.

I buy glow bracelets for my kids for $1. They will serve the purpose. Just a small modification to mount them to the board, and they come in different colors.

We always did the reflective tape thing for our tip-ups and it worked great, I never got around to using tape on our planer boards, but I have no doubt that it would work great.

I use the tape, you can pick them up with a good spot light with no issues.

i have the night bite lights and light them alot. Think i spent like 45 dollars for a set of 8

i use the DOT tape too. i used just the silver part. Works well for me.

Speaking of reflector tape I have it all over my boat trailer and even on the back of my boat. It may make you more visible going down the road at night. Even unhitching the trailer and leaving it in a parking lot, it's a lot more visible with the reflector tape.
