Some nights they just don't bite.... That's fishing. The Qbeam is the best light I have used. I started out 30yrs ago with a latern. Then I stuck a pie tin and a 12v light on a cut off cane pole to get it out from the boat. I made floaters with headlights and styrofoam and used those until nightblaster made them for me to buy. I have the green ones too. I have a pole with a Qbeam below a green tube. The qbeam is about 2 1/2' deep and the green right on top. I have caught more on this light than the plain qbeam. I like the way the green helps me see my lines. I think I might make both qbeams like that.
