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.

Most carp rods have line clips on them, but many are a bit harsh on the line. These clips, which come in three diameters to suit all blanks, slide onto the rod and are very line friendly. I also like the fact that they can be slid up nearer to the buzzers if needed, which I do quite regularly. I’ve used them for as long as I can remember and will continue to do so.

Lee Jackson’s verdict : Unquestionable heritage and product quality but it does cost. Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: Solar Tackle is one of those companies that I get excited about when new products arrive because it always develops great new ideas. The durability of Solar’s stainless steel metalware is beyond question and there are many anglers out there still using banksticks from Martin Locke’s original production run from over 30 years ago! The new P1 stainless range benefits from this heritage and is cosmetically very impressive, from the subtle 1K carbon weave detailing to the new five-spoke diamond knurled collars, which are not just cosmetically pleasing, but a massive improvement on the grip and pressure that can be applied by this simple design change. Most of Solar’s original features have been retained in the P1 buzz bar range – Pozi-Loc alignment, the unique Taper-Loc feature and the screwless adjustment system – and, like the rest of the range, is universally compatible with existing and previous products in the Supreme Stainless range.
