Default New bow mounted light?

Anyone have any info on this? Possible option for hunting fish at night. 145 lumens is very high especially from 3 AAA batteries, I bet they can't last too long with that light output.

Less than half the price. 90 lumens and with 2 lithium batteries. It took me about a half an hour to make the mount for it and drill and tap the holes in the reel seat.

Where would the reel seat go on this one?

Like my Hawg lite before, the reel gets mounted on the side where the sight usually mounts. I think it was called a fuzzy reel seat?

Fuzz-mount. I have one. That's a good idea.

At 145 lumens, that'll light up some water, but I wonder about the battery life too.

Rob maybe the batteries will last longer than you think, since we dont use lights continuously when we bighead could be a great option on your bowfishing bow just my thoughts.....

I've got the hawglite marauders here. Check 'em out when you come to the shows. We put the old one up against the new one and the new one smokes it. The marauder is 85 lumens I believe. Not as bright as the stabalight but I think it would be perfect for bigheads (plus the battery life has to be better)

Another plus is the marauder has an adjustment so you can get the light to point where you're aiming.

The downside is they're fairly pricey.

Those are great ideas, and the prices are great. Let us know how well they work.

Looks the Stabalight is a little cheaper than the Marauder.
