This is the type of material you see on traffic cones, or as patches on safety
clothing. Available in many colours; silver, red and yellow being the most
popular. If you buy it from an angling shop it will normally be self adhesive.
One strip can do a number of rods. Cut a piece wide enough to just wrap around
the tip and about 6" long. A good tip is to shine your light just off the tape
so that it reflects the light cleanly without looking like a fluorescent tube.
As an alternative you could whip the top 6" of the tip with fluorescent thread.
