    Anyone tried these new (to me) Pro-tec "super" glow powder paints? I've tried their regular glow and wasn't impressed.

    I can tell you from my experience any time you add color to glow it's not going to be as bright and as good. I didn't care for them that much.

    Here is a pic of some jigs I did last fall - I was testing all my powder paint - both glow and non-glow. These are 1/2 oz.

    Top row - right most 4 jigs: red, green, blue, orange glow

    2nd row - middle jig is white glow, w/ some non-glow blue sprinkled over it

    The single jig - bottom left - what would be the 4th row - this one is non-glow hot pink w/ a glow topcoat.

    Nice looking paint jobs you've done there UG. I really like the fireball (2nd row far right).

    I was hacking - I'd bought the powder and was testing it to see what it would do - ie 'Junebug' - melted vs dry powder, etc? All I did was to take a paint brush dipped in the powder on top of one of the just dipped jigs...

    Seeing how difficult it would be to come up w/ something similar to the commerically done spray jobs....

    I need to do more playing w/ paint and colors - been focused on tying and materials.....

    I got the UV paint from Fish Vison, followed directions, painted jig heads, and let cure. No glow whatsoever! I called them and asked what went wrong and they said that nothing was wrong, they won't glow to the human eye. Said they will glow up to 1200 times normal underwater to the fish........hmmmmm? Will report back next week when I try them out.

    UG, you might have just been hacking, but those are some pretty nice looking paint jobs.
