Thank you so much to all of you guys who recommended one of the head torches on somebody else's thread recently, they are brilliant. I don't think I will ever use my big and bulky Ridge Monkey one ever again now.

glad you seen the light
they are just about everything you would ever need in a head torch for fishing everyone thinks the one that they use is the best until they try one of these
LINKY POO

I dont know why people buy the likes of ridgemonkey head torches when nitecore and fenix are the sane price. Leave head torches to the experts.

any recomendations for Fenix torch?

Just bought the Nu25 based on Gerry's recommendation ( he's cost me a fortune over the years but all been good buys). Out of the box it looks good, quick test around the house and garden looks good.
Going to use it for a few days fishing next week so should be able to give it a thorough workout over a few nights to test function, lightness ( amazing so far) comfort, battery life between charges etc etc etc. Early out of the box impressions are very good.

I have a Fenix HL60R which is great especially if you want it for other situations and not just fishing otherwise might be a slight overkill LINK
I have also ordered an NU25

Am i the only one who thinks these look like something straight out of the 1980's?
Mon dieu Rodders!

Yep I bought one a few months ago based upon recommendations here. I like it. Nice and lightweight and I particularly like the fact that after a few seconds pressing any button simply turns the unit off rather than having to go through the whole cycle.
Battery life isn't that amazing tbh and it has to be recharged every trip but you get used to it.
Is it massively better than some of he £10 jobs off eBay ( of which I own a couple)....no it isn't, but it's still the best I have used so it gets an 8/10 from me.

"Battery life isn't that amazing tbh and it has to be recharged every trip"
Seriously? Are you leaving it on turbo all night?
Send it back and swap it - seriously!
I just used one of mine for 3 night trips on the feeder, pointing at a quivertip and on all night without re-charging between sessions.
For carp fishing I reckon I charge mine once every 7 - 10 nights and even then it isn't flat.

I bought one on Keebs' recommendation, and last month arrived to do five nights thinking 'bugger, forgot to charge the head torch'.
Still haven't plugged it in! Still going strong!

Crikey, you must be right. I only use the light when necessary as well....must be an issue with it but I've probably had it for too long to send it back now,
