​Barbel fishing is not just a daytime activity; especially in the late evening hours and during the night, these powerful fish can be very active. Therefore, the importance of good lighting cannot be stressed enough. Good lighting is crucial, not only for accurately tying rods or changing bait in the dark, but also for safe and respectful handling of the fish caught.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT HEADLAMP
The headlamp is an indispensable tool for any night angler. These lamps allow you to have both hands free for your fishing activities, while still illuminating exactly what is needed. Headlamps vary in brightness, measured in lumens. A higher lumen number means more light output. Many models offer the option to adjust the brightness, so you have more light while casting and less light while tying ropes. Some headlights also offer the option to change colour; red light, for example, is less distracting to others at a distance. At The Good Catch, you'll find a wide range of headlamps from top brands such as Fox, Petzl, and more.
LANTERNS: STATIONARY LIGHTING OPTIONS
Besides headlamps, using a lantern is an excellent option for stationary lighting on your fishing spot. These lanterns can be placed in a fixed location and provide constant light, which is very useful when preparing bait or unhooking a fish. Most models come with a carabiner or hanging hook, making it easy to hang them in your bivvy or under your umbrella. Lanterns are also available with adjustable brightness, USB connections, power bank functions and even solar cells for self-charging - perfect for charging your smartphone during long night sessions.
