Glo stick - 12volt versus D battery?? - Page 2

Incognito · 03-06-2007, 11:49 AM

I use the Swordlight.

I have a rechargeable battery jumper that I run it off of. I bought it at Sears for 49$. It will run the light all night without even draining one of the 5 charge indicator lights.

Ive been using the Lucky Spot. Its a D cell powered LED light that is self contained and can go as deep as 100 feet down in the water column. You get 24 to 30 hours from 4 D cells. It spins under water and looks like an underwater light house. Its ruggedly built but I dont know how it compares to the sword light. I do like not having to bring a car battery with me every time like I did with other lights.

Hydraglow has top knotch customer service hands down.

Why did you buy a swordlight then?
I do agree with H-glows service, but when you constantly have to sent the product back it's a pain! I've busted them all! But the Swordlight seems easier to handle and the guy is local and will fix you up right away!

Plus if they break......we can blame you for building them shitty.

They are both good products as well as the FishStick.

Because it is shorter, and it sinks. I also like the 2 colors, but that is pretty much the main reasons. I have caught many more fish using a hydraglow, but all the bigger fish have been since the swordlight.

It is like ALL things in life, everytime you gain you loose, I choose the light that i like better while it is working, not about breaking or not breaking etc.

Also those 40.00 lights...How many amps do they draw? that is usually the issue with a cheap light, but I could be wrong?

I have been paying 60$ forever! you got lucky trust me, his squid are top knotch, i dont think you should be so upset and post about it on here. I think you really did get lucky! I would pay twice as much for better squid that have thicker body's and rounder.fuller mantles anyday over some of the crap i have bought some places that no longer sell squid. they last twice as long while drifting anyways
