Glow in the Dark Jigs

[AgriHawg]

Just to clarify Skip, I don't want you to tell any of your secrets. I appreciate your willingness to just share tips, tricks, and ideas.

I was mainly curious to see if they worked very well......as in do they help catch fish?

I've got some glow powder and I have already painted a couple of heads. I haven't tried them out yet though.

Len, I'm really looking forward to taking a look at your jig once I get it from the swap. I really like the look of it, even if it wasn't glow.

I have recently started adding glow flash to my dock shooting jigs. I only add it to the "tail". My thinking for adding it to just the tail is that if it works like I hope, I want the fish to grab the tail and not the head first. Guess we will see if it works when I start hitting the docks again. It does glow for a while and is rather bright at least at home LOL

I have and some that say they love them and catch lots of fist using them. personally I have caught fish on them, but I don't use them a lot. I think they are good for stained water and probably better then as they can see it a lot better. Some things I tried I didn't care for much. Like flashabou glow I am not sold on that and have tried it and used it. It's not very bright though. I have also not found paint to do very well like Pro-Tec makes, not something I would use.

Hagen's has a new body material that is supposed to glow a long time. The lady I talked to said that it is still glowing every day when she gets to work in the morning. I am gonna get some to try . I use glow in the dark soft and hard beads for fishing trout at night. It helps a lot and I have sold them to others out there for 3/$1. They were happy because they finally caught fish. I absolutely believe that in dark water and at night or heavy overcast conditions they do improve my catch rate for trout, panfish and especially brown bullhead.

The glow in the dark powder paint it supposed to be awesome as well. I have a gal I buy powder paint from on Ebay that is inexpensive and is very good quality. Rosey's Powder Coating

I have 11 colors of here powder paint and have never had a problem with any of it.

I like skips though. Looks like it is much more customizable than lace or powder. I think it would work well used on just one side instead of all the way around.

I may disclose how to do this tomorrow, let me sleep on it guys.

For you fly tying guys here is a glow fly I made....

Fly hits the water, first fish sees it and says:
"What in the world is that?"
Second fish "I haven't a clue but I bet I can kill it first".
First fish, "Just make sure to spit it out, you will never be able to hide from mom that you were eating after dark!"

I like it, especially the shading/breakup from the head. A little more overlay would look even better to me.

I've been planning to tie a few glow in the dark jigs. Seeing Skips new signature jig reminded me about them.

What are you guys opinion of glow in the dark jigs?

I tie some up just for myself but I do not sell them or give them away to people. They are very effective for night or deep water fishing. I also do not tell individuals how they are made. That my friend is our secret and should remain so IMHO.:D:D
