i got one of the little plastic holders for my bait elastic and put some glow in the dark paint on it. i gave it a little charge at the start of each session and it worked a treat til i left it behind me one night :roll: :roll: :roll:

That can happen all right when things are exciting. How about just taping the dispenser with no lid - or something similar like a plastic film canister - onto the tripod, to park the elastic in when not in use?
