Solar Power Glo Indicators

Lee Jackson’s verdict - Well worth a look, especially at this price! 4/5


Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: Although these indicator heads have been available for a number of years, the first time I actually got to use a set was on a trip to Rainbow Lake in France in 2015 and I’ve used them ever since.

What impressed me most was that even when the LED on my bite alarm was trying its best to burn a hole in my retinas, the bobbin still stood out.  The Power Glo heads are available in five colours – red, green, amber, white or blue – and come supplied with a line clip and are compatible with all Solar and most other companies’ chains and hockey sticks.

Each head is powered by two supplied LR44 batteries, and once the head is turned on, the LED in the bobbin is switched on and becomes highly visible once it gets dark. The battery life is something like six weeks of continual use, according to Solar’s Martin Locke, although you need to remember to switch the head off at the end of each session, otherwise you might find that it’s run out when you next come to use it, so it’s worth carrying a spare battery.
