I use a shorter light-(24 in.) in the back of the boat when using the the bow mount troller on a spot (weedbed, rock pile) at night. I cover the half of the light that faces the inside of the boat with duct tape. This kills the glare but lets light out, When I go to take off I put in a 48 in. light with no cover. The shorter light also makes casting in the back much nicer.
Roger that on the casting....it is a pain back there, gets in the way of fig 8'ing at times too. I think I will get a shorter one for use while actually fishing.
I tried the sock thing....that's why I had to replace the cover....haha, dang that thing got HOT....lesson learned. A wet sock is a good idea, so is the cup. We put electrical tape around it last night and left little rings of light and the top open...seemed to help, but doing that kind of counter acts the point of having a rear light so you don't get T boned in the dark by the dude going full speed across the lake since it probabaly decreases the lights effectiveness.
Anyone use the LEDs? |
