The MK4 Tip Light is a reusable, battery-powered LED rod-tip light designed for night fishing, particularly popular with UK sea anglers using beachcaster rods. Made in the UK, it attaches close to the rod tip via one of two supplied mounting brackets, giving anglers a constant illuminated reference point after dark.
Weighing approximately 6g and measuring around 1 inch (25mm) in length, the tip light is compact enough to leave permanently mounted on the rod without adding noticeable extra weight. Unlike single-use chemical glow sticks, the MK4 uses a simple twist on/off mechanism and runs on two replaceable 76A alkaline batteries, which are included in the pack alongside instructions and the two mounts.
Perfect For
The MK4 is particularly suited to sea and beach fishing after dark, including beachcasting, pier fishing and rock fishing sessions where seeing rod-tip movement is essential for spotting bites. Because the light can be left attached to the rod tip while casting, provided it's fitted correctly and kept clear of the line, anglers don't need to remove or reattach it between casts.
It offers a genuine alternative to disposable chemical glow sticks for anglers who fish regularly at night and want a reusable, switchable light source rather than a one-time-use item.
Technical Insight
The published battery life of approximately 200-500 hours reflects the MK4's low power consumption, though actual runtime varies with temperature and battery performance. Rather than only illuminating on a bite, the constant LED glow moves with the rod tip as it flexes, making small knocks, pulls and bite movements easier to pick out against a dark background.
Two different mounts are supplied to fit varying rod-tip diameters, and because the bracket can stay permanently fixed to the rod while just the light itself is removed or replaced, the MK4 offers more flexibility than a fixed disposable light.
