Thread: Glow tub

TreeFrog said at work that he was going to make a tub to hold his glow jigs and or glow nibbles in with a light to charge them whenever he wanted. Since it's raining today, I decided to see what I had laying around the house to make one. This is what I found. The light is a LED that cost $5 at Wally World. The tub is a throw-away from work, but could be substituted with a butter or sour cream bowl. The hole in the tub is small enough that the light snaps into it and can be easily taken back out to use at the landing. The light has ridges that help it to snap in place. I put some extra batteries in the bottom of the tub in case it runs low. I can put glow jigs, glow tubes, or glow crappie nibbles in it and charge them whenever I want to. Just remember that if you see this on another forum for $20, you can make it alot cheaper!!!!!!! I hope this helps you out. I know TF will come out with a fancier model (probably cheaper too!), but I had the time and material handy.



The jigs in this pic, were in the tub in the first pic and so are the batteries with alot of space left. The LED doesn't give off alot of heat, so it shouldn't melt any tubes, nibbles, or hair jig glue.

Leave it to a FISHERMAN to figure out a cure for what ales ya! :D

Thats cool Skipper, I hope it works like you are wanting. That is a pretty neat ideal. Thanks for the pics.
