(PRICE w/o GST) - Golden Mean UV / LED Light
The Golden Mean (GM) UV / LED Light and its accompanying Holder Set are highly practical, compact tools designed specifically for night fishing, eging (squid fishing), and light rock fishing (Ajing/Mebaring). Developed by the Japanese fishing brand Golden Mean, this setup combines an efficient glow-charger for lures with a handy utility work light.
1. Golden Mean UV / LED Light
The core unit is a versatile 2-way flashlight housed in a high-quality, lightweight aluminum body. Instead of carrying separate tools to charge your lures and light up your hands, this single device covers both needs.
Key Features
-
Dual-Function Lighting (2-Way):
-
Front UV Light: Emits an ultraviolet wave ($400 - 405 UV-A) engineered to instantly charge glow-in-the-dark (phosphorescent) lures, squid jigs (egi), soft plastics, and flash jigging tapes. A few seconds of exposure creates a powerful, long-lasting glow.
-
Side COB LED Light: Utilizes a bright Chip-on-Board (COB) LED panel on the side of the casing. It acts as a miniature lantern to illuminate your tackle box, knots, or campsite with a wide, even beam.
-
-
Hands-Free Convenience: Built with an integrated metal clip to slide onto your vest pocket, belt, or bag. It also includes a durable lanyard featuring a quick-release buckle and a branded carabiner for easy attachment to D-rings.
-
Weather Resistance: Features a splashproof design (簡易防水), ensuring it safely handles rain or unexpected salt spray.
-
Stand-Alone Colors: Blue, Red, and Gunmetal.
2. GM UV Light Holder Set
The Holder Set bundles the UV/LED light with a dedicated heavy-duty mounting bracket. If you buy the light as part of the Holder Set, the flashlight body typically comes in a sleek Silver finish.
Key Features
-
Hands-Free Charging Stations: The holder is built from durable ABS resin with an internal steel compression coil spring. It acts like a heavy-duty clamp that securely grips the flashlight.
-
Tackle Box Integration: It is designed specifically to clip seamlessly onto popular hard-sided Japanese tackle boxes, such as the Meiho "Bucket Mouth" series and the Ring Star "Docatte" series.
-
The Workflow Advantage: By clipping the holder to your tackle box, you can leave the UV light turned "on" inside the bracket. When changing lures or preparing a fresh squid jig, you simply pass the lure through the beam hands-free before casting, saving time and effort on a dark boat or pier.

Angler's Tip: When targeting squid or deep-water species, charging your glow lures with a dedicated UV-A light achieves a significantly brighter, faster charge than using a standard smartphone flashlight or regular white LED, maximizing your visibility time underwater.
