This looks like the same head torch that's on sale in woolies for £7.49.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/20-000mcd-PROFESSION...1QQcmdZViewItem

The packaging is diferent, but it definatly appears to be the same torch.

 

I've not tried mine in the wet yet but it does seem to be a bit good for the money. My only moan would be that if you turn the torch on on minimum power to bait up, you have to switch it through medium power and high power before you can turn it off - guarenteed to ruin night vision and spook fish.

How hard would it have been to have separate power and on/off switches ?

Looks like your common or garden usual ebay rip off to me Ken. :angry:

 

It looks very similar to many headtorches. Shakespeare market a headtorch in a rather vivid blue colour which retails for around £8. My son bought one in Wilkinsons, exactly the same but without the shakespeare logo on the headband for £2.99 !!! :o

 

Ebay is a very useful tool, but do a bit of research before parting with your hard earned. ;)

Yes i agree about e-bay it can be usefull but research is required.

Just bought a new laptop direct online for £480 inc delivery,on e-bay they are bidding up past £550 for the same units.Mad i say.

Fishing seems to be my favorite form of loafing.

 

"Even a bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work."

 

I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.

 

What do you think if the float does not dip, try again I think.
