Hi All,
In the market for 4 Isotopes. I used to Buy from Mr Fish on eBay but cannot find him or know even if he's still trading.
What alternatives do I have without spending a fortune.
Cheers Neal.

Iirc, there are very few manufacturers of the isotopes chemical in Europe so the only actual difference is the age of product, ie, they get duller the older they are (1/2 life of active isotope).
So buy from seller with good turnover 👍

Yeah, he's the fella to get them off. Think he also has a website, not sure if there is any price difference.

Have a look a www.iceatope.co.uk
Amongst the best that I've used, reasonably priced and very bright.
The old geezer sent me there quite a few years ago and he was right as always.

Yep, same seller as in post 2

As vossy says the brightness is only determined by how old they are. All the tackle companies are talking crap when they say theirs are the brightest. I beleive mrfish and darrencarp are the same person and he sells loads so his are the brightest as they are the newest ones from manufacture.

I keep seeing folk replying to the original Gerry RIP thread who haven't been on here for a while , very sad 😔
I'm yet to find an isotope that I'd regard as cheap. They are a bloody rip-off for what they are. They do look good though. I've got the iceatopes in my bobbins but refuse to spend more putting them in my reel seats and alarms!
I bought these. they are well priced and just as good as branded type IMO.

The picture suggest the ends are a strange shape. They are not, they are the same as all the others on the market.
