slipperybob Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I forgo the leggo project, since the fog/driving kit comes with all the wires necessary. At first I thought maybe just some wood and nail together, but then I will have to build a wooden box to accommodate carrying the battery. So in the end, I think I'm going to go with a cheapo little plastic tool box. Store the battery in it along with all the wires, rig the lights onto the top tray. So when I close it, everything is contained safely. Now when I do the take down the portable in middle of night, I will have lots of light to shine. No more lantern.

B@ssmaster Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Kinda bulky, but I always have my million candle power in the tub to help locate spots on a remote lake I fish. That baby glows em up REALLY well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperybob Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I know, but this project will extend into the boat for night fishing come around summer. I'm unsure of how long a burn time I can get out of a 7amp battery, but if I can get more than 1 hour it'll be worth it. It usually takes me about 30-45 minutes of boat navigating at night to get back to the ramp, on an otherwise 10-15 minutes day nav. I can always double the battery. Hmmm, I should always be prepared, more wiring parts needed... I usually carry other tools as well, might as well be in the tool box.

captainstevo Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I carry an old camera flash that I got at an second hand store for a couple bucks. It is running on 5 years with the same batteries and is used summer and winter. My fishing partners claim it is the best method for "charging" jigs they have seen and really does wonders on the guy that doesn't know whats coming.

meatfish Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Ditto on the camera flash from the thrift store.I have not found anything better.I made a little enclosure out of foil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperybob Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I got a little excited after I figured out the wiring for the driving/fog lights. Then using a powered tool for the first time...I made a mess of things. I drilled holes way too big for the screws. So I had to patch something to hold the screws for the mounting brackets. What a set back...I'm figuring the glue will hold so tonite I will continue with my light project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTN4ICE Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Got this on EB last year. Works good, just put lure in the middle and motion sensitive lights come on.Have also seen it for sale in local stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiNK3R Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I rigged my porty up with the HK led lights... I have one under the outside lip of the tub to light up the ice/floor. I'm assuming those will work just fine. If not I have an led flashlight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtor Boy Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Google Lure lightning, they mount to your flasher and run off your battery. This is what I use as well. Works GREAT. I have used all the tazzers and push button led lights and nothing keeps my lure glowing longer then when I use this. You will never lose it either as it attaches right to your flasher and it is a push button that you use with your foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRDtom69 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 UV is the way to go. It's charge is stronger and lasts longer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lure Lightning Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 We will be at the ice show again this year or you can order online. We appreciate all that Fishing MN has done and look forward to seeing all of the FM Members at the show stop by and say hi!!!. Thanks again for the support! Merry fishing Randy and Dan.

Johnny_Da_Der Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I am gonna have to 5th or 6th the UV led lights you can find on EB, usually from HK or somewhere out in those parts. UV is the way to go to charge anything that glows. I could get into the physics of fluorescence to explain why but I'll save that for another day. You will not be disappointed. They are pretty cheap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lure Lightning Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Johnny_Da_DerWe have now modified our lights which will now have UV's as well and can be seen at the show. Have a good one. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Da_Der Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Totally awesome news "Lure Lightning (Dan)". I'll check them out. One problem that I have had with the HK made lights is they are pretty cheaply made and don't seem to last to long with the rigors of an ice fishing season. I would love to switch to your product.

aczr2k Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Can last years lure lightings be updated to the new uv? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRand Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 After seeing that lure lightning has new uv bulbs I got in touch(through the contact us on web page) with the guy who invented it and he said if I would be coming to the show to bring the old light and see what he could do for me. I'll be there!!! Thanks Dan!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisch008 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I went into a local photo shop and asked the lady behind the counter if she had any used (spend) disposable cameras with a flash. Found out that they just throw camera part away when people bring them in to be developed. She offered me a grocery bag full! I took three. That was three years ago. Still using the first one!

dstndnls Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I have used the camera flash and BY FAR it works the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott M Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 There are more lumens in a camera flash. No doubt about that, in the words of Ron Burgundy, "it's science."I use a Lindy Tazer that is clipped to my lanyard-o-tools. Lots of goodies there all at my finger tips.I've also seen the Lure Lightning at the Ice Show and in use with friends that have it...A very nice product, hands free, and mounts right on your flasher.I also like the Illuminator Jig if the fish are really into the glow.

RiverRand Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I also have used the camera flash but didn't like how it only charged one side of the jig,and then putting it in the garage with all my other fishing stuff forgetting to take out my batteries and having to replace them in the fall. Not sure about the Illuminator though what's that doing to the water if your line breaks, or a fish takes it? To many products so many decisions. What ever works and catches fish for ya!!
