mighty bright tape

[beachcaster]

hi lads has any one used this mighty bright tip tape,what are the advantages over solas tape are there any?is it easy to use and remove?is it as good as they say it is??john

i use it and find it good. never used the solas tape so cant compare it. its pretty cheap too so if you dont like it just take it back off. might be a little bit of adhesive left on the rod but a quick wash with warm soapy water will sort that.

dont think it is as thick as the solas stuff, comes in pretty colours and i think there is a black 'eclipse' for those that like to take themselves seriously or just wear black like Stevecrow

i bought some of the mighty bright tape ages ago.. its didnt last and came off the within hours.. the adhesive was not strong enough...

[ShaneH]

i use it and it stays on great just clean the blank befor you put it on

[round_ourway]

u are probably right it was a long time ago.

its ok and you wont need sunglasses to look at your rod tips i do however find its not as sticky as others ,i got the chap on ebay to do my name for my golds backpack and applied it with heat from a hair dryer (not mine i neednt say )two years on and its still solid like all tip tape give your rod a good clean first and try not to touch the adhesive with your fingers as the oil in your skin will stop it from sticking
the advantage is it comes in different colours for tackle tarts

I've bought the "mighty brite" in both red and white and am "mighty disappointed". Two rods on the one tripod. Result ...the rod tipped with the solas far out shines the over hyped newcomer on the rod beside it when viewed using either a white or red LED headtorch.

I bought some because the stuff I have on now looks like I put it on with my toes...

I'm on the look out for some intimidating stickers for the box now

[roger de dodger]

like i said you wont need sunglasses to look at it

try Halfords...

[shamoo0804]

Have some on two rods, its decent enough and I've had no problem with it not sticking, but its not quite as bright as some sakuma tip tape I have on another rod (dont know who manufacturers the sakuma tape)

[round_ourway]

well I took off the soaris stuff. .... which took and hour and a half... not a bit of residue left... applied the mighty bright tape, all I can say the same thing happened... the stuff has no adhesive strength at all. £5 down the drain, now I have to go and get the same stuff I had on...
the only good thing is that it was cut into handy strips

[beachbuddy]

Just got my hands on the white safety tape from halfords,all i'll say is it is the brightest reflective tape i have ever used and good value too for a roll.I think a few lads down here ve the black mighty brite tape and are very happy with it,don't know about the adhesive side of things only time will tell.
Tight lines

I used mighty brite (mighty sh*te), lasted for 1 session and came off. gave the tip a good clean then applied some more, same thing happened again.

[beachcaster]

think a trip to halfords is in order.had the same problem with mighty bright tape the adhesive on the back doesnot seem to be up to the job!!!lasted less than an hour ,and that was cleaning the blank and then allowing to dry and clean it again waste of time, money and effort if you ask me.
