Well, I'll report what I done the other night and it worked so good!

Okay, so I went to Dollar General and purchased some 8" glow sticks, yellow and green, so that's what I used. I used some zip ties and zipped them to the end of my rod, from tip to 2nd eye back. I didn't even need a head lamp except for when I went to bait the minnow. No bugs was a great thing! When you get the lightest bite, you will see the stick twitch. I out fished my buddy who usually out fishes me, due to me not seeing my bites. I also went to walmart and purchased some florescent paint and my old rods, I painted from the tip back to the 2nd eye and used those too. Had a great time! The only time I used my slip setup with bobber was when the wind picked up and I wanted to throw closer to the bridge pillar.
