Great "selfies" CC, and lovely looking fish, how do you manage to get such good self shots in darkness ?

Camera, Phone, Gopro ?

Mine come out , well, they dont, in the dark they are just terrible.

Thanks, I use a P20 pro mobile phone and the light is a Rhino beam. It all attatches to the rod rest. I'll post a photo soon for you.

Thank you. Top rod is a WA Allcocks Adonis and the bottom rod is a prototype which was made in Germany.
