So I got into the gopro times.
Trying to figure out how to make a pole, and came up with this.
Got a piece of 1-1/4" PVDF pipe and a cap that I had laying around at work.
Looks like it will work.
Put an LED flash light in the pipe, and you have a light pole at night.
The light glow puts off just enough light to see but not to mess up you night vision.

Bob, your led lights idea is awesome! I am in the process of putting leds all around my kayak. I am going to use the red and green theme. I am hoping to get a bunch of yaks together this christmas and put together a kayak parade of lights like they do in SD bay. I'm going to put a blow-up santa on my green stick and maybe an elf or two...... Also thinking of installing under water lights in kayak just like the ones on big boats.

I was able to get the lights from JK electronics in westminster.. If you really want pic's i can send them from my phone..

By far the best electronics supply store this side of Orange County. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. They recently expanded their store as well. I've been going here for 10-15 years it seems.

I mounted a red LED on the center of my yak for night fishing and that thing is bright. It works pretty well. Wade and CBad Mike have seen it on the water.

Anybody ever use Neodymium Magnets to mount things on their Yak?

I got an idea today from one of my Techs in service. I was checking out his street bike and he had a bag on the fuel tank and it was held on to the tank by magnets. I started thinking... we could glue magnets inside the hull and then we could put magnets on the underside of say a tackle bag or whatever.

What do you guys think?
