I have a lovely 12ft Chimera 1.75tc which I have used three times. I bought it with the shrink wrap still on from (I hope I remember correctly) Joe Winstanley a few months ago, so it's still in mint nick.
I would prefer a 2lb tc (chimera three I believe) - any interest?

I tried clip ons for a while. Found they made my glasses too heavy and they slipped off my nose when I was looking down (particularly when I was a bit sweaty!).
Replaced them with some prescription sunglasses from Optilabs IIRC which have been absolutely brilliant.
I doubt if they weigh 2oz! All you need is a bank stick and you're good to go. I hardly ever fish overnighters, travel light and only take self takes of really big fish but it's no hardship having it in the rucksack in case!
Hi Richard
The problem you describe used to really frustrate me; I've got plenty of very disappointing flashlight photos from either of my two cameras where the fish is bleached out or worse. My beloved zander are even harder to capture at night than barbel.
I've managed to resolve it this...
It certainly needs to be an improvement. The original one was one of the worst bits of fishing kit on which I've ever had the misfortune of parting with my hard earned!
