THE SOLUTION
Chemical light sticks now no longer need to exist.
Fishtek Marine have solved the problem by working backwards. In order to create a credible alternative to chemical light sticks we knew we had to create a product that was incredibly cheap to buy, lasted forever, was able to withstand the harsh environments of the fishing industry and not, in any way affect the profitability of the catch.
Fishtek Marine created the ProGlow.
ProGlow is tiny and weighs just 17 grams underwater yet contains two replaceable AAA batteries which produce light equivalent in strength to a chemical light stick for a phenomenal duration of 5000 hours (approximately 3 years of fishing with 150 sets per year) before the batteries need replacing (based on ProGlow bright model).
ProGlow keeps its battery strength by turning itself off when not fishing. ProGlow is super tough and depth rated to 1000 meters deep.
Fishtek are driven by resolving an environmental problem with ProGlow.
To this end, we want to encourage wholesale uptake of this product globally by selling ProGlow as cheaply as possible and by selling it as close to production cost as physically possible.
