Great fishing Gerry. I've just ordered one on your recommendation. You've cost / saved me a fortune over the last few years. Hope you catch a beastie on the Trent.

Nice fish Gerry, after your recommendation I bought one a while ago, it's great, I did get the very 'non carpy' yellow one so easier to find

Looks a great bit of kit.
Only thing missing here is no green light. I do favour that over the red tbh. Have the Ridgemonkey (carp tax) but it's excellent and sleep is easy as you just have it on round your neck at night (it's loose)
Find it very comfy, battery life is amazing and can switch on anyway you put on too.
I know it's expensive but it is a very good product.
👍
Nice storage gorilla box too came with mine (bonus)

you will hate me for saying this after trying my m8`s Ridge monkey but its the honest truth I would not have one for a gift
I thought it was rubbish in comparison to my NU25 far too bulky and heavy I liked the green light though !
but then again the NU25 has 2 levels of red light and the 2nd level red is awesome makes it like a red daylight and of course does not destroy your natural night vision or attract insects

Just bought one myself so will compare it with my fenix hl50.
Well after playing about with them both. The fenix wins for me. The build quality of the fenix is in a different league being all aluminium and i like how the fenix pops out of its holder so it can be used as a normal torch if needed. Its quite a lot brighter as well on its highest setting. Its just as comfy as the nitecore. The nitecore is very good but feels a bit cheap and plasticky. The main bonus of the nitecore is that its rechargeable so wont cost you anything in batteries. If i had to buy just one it would definately be the fenix though even though its £10 more than the nitecore.

funny enough I have a Fennex too
and I have never found the need to pop it out to use as a torch or use the little extension bit either ! and I have the opposite view I think the NU25 is a far better torch so its 1-1 at the moment
oh and I havent played about with them I have fished many hours with both

last torch was a HL50 but no red light made it quickly redundant for me.
the only time I really use the white light is when I've got a fish on the bank or to check if my food is cooked, and I don't need a beacon for that.

Fished many hours with the fenix, the nitecore only arrived today but dont need to go fishing with it for many hours to decide which i prefer as its just a torch and wont do anything different in a fishing situation. Ive never used the extension bit and not even sure what it was for, it went in the drawer the day i got it. I always pop mine out of the holder and just sit it on the table on low, acts like a little bivvy light. We will have to call it a drawer then. Life would be boring if we all liked the same things.

Why did you buy it if it didnt have a red light? Im the opposite dont like the red light, i cant really see properly with the red light on. Green is slightly better than red but dont like that either prefer white every time. The fenix is hardly a beacon on its lowest setting, its very dull.
