I remember buying a set in the late 80's or early 90's
Never felt the need for them again so never bought any more.
What are you all using them on?

You forgot net, snag ears & distance sticks .....and tent tags for that matter

I'm in the same boat as Framey, though I might have got them too for my 1st set of Rx's way back, when 1st released, but I can't remember for sure. I don't even use the night light facility on my alarms nowadays.

I know isotopes are a costly outlay buy given how long they last it's probably one of the more value orientated piece of gear, it's just the upfront cost as always.

There probably one of the best value items of tackle you can get. Where else can you spend £10 on something that lasts 10 years.

I couldn't sit behind rods without having isotopes in my swinger heads.

I'm the same.. they used to be on everything.. rod tips were the one. Ether wipped flat in silicon or Sat at 45°.. Apart from maybe indicators and rod tips there just an expensive tarty accesorie..

Must admit I like watching my penny whistles during the day and a isotope in them is just as much fun at night. I don't like advertising the fact I'm there at night really so isotopes everywhere isn't my thing, though I've been annoyed enough by bivvy zips to think about those zip tags.
Are you sure?
