The one I have is a 6" magnifier. I took the pic of the "Nice Butt" through the magnifier. But I use the magnifying headband I bought from Jann's when doing work. It's always where I want it; no adjusting and as others on here told me when I was touting my swing arm style-just try one, you'll like it.

I still use the swing arm a bit, but 95% of the time, I use and like that cheap (less than $20) headband magnifier that I got 6 months ago.

Daylight also has a very nice light that I use, which has the light and a sperate magnifying glass attachment with it. Got mine for around $80.00. The bulbs used for these lamps are the best you can get in my opinion for working on a rod. [us.daylightcompany.com]

I think Neil's Fishing products has one of the magnifying swing arm lights for about #30.

I got the OTT-LITE from [www.save-on-crafts.com] last year and then went to the drug store and bought a pair of 2.75 reading glasses and I like that better than a lite with a magnifyer attached. You can get reading glasses up to 4.00
