Anyone used the 2ft Hydro Glow?

JupiterSailfish · 01-23-2007, 11:13 PM

Has anyone used one? I haven't seen them in tackle shops, but my tackle magazines and websites have them. Thinking about switching from my Green 4ft to the Blue 2ft possibly. Is there any major differences in the different sizes?

Thanks

I use a 4-inch flashlight.

Have friends using all colors, and styles. One friend using no light at all. All are catching fish. Pretty sure it comes down to what you prefer, and whats easiest to handle on your rig.
Good Luck

I know somewhere in there Barry you were trying to get me to get a Swordlight

The color doesn't really matter to me other than it is easier to see with the blue light. My green light is fine, just that I used a blue light awhile back and liked it over my green. I was thinking about lights and I've never seen the 2ft Hydro. I was told that the 2ft puts out 1/3 the lumens of the 4ft light. Is this a major difference? It's either this or 80W Aluctecnos.

Wait for Swordlight to come out with the blue shorty(Hurry it up Jim... we all want one now!!!) That 2' blue SL blew the Blue H-glow out of the water(and the green swordlight of that matter). I couldn't believe how far out the light went.
Plus we had 3 fish come though!
