I did not see much difference in my own catch rates when using glow or no glow lures. They all caught fish. I retired from making lures a few months ago. Many of the lure makers here know where to get the glowing powder. Just add it to the plastisol the same as you would add drops of coloring, stir and inject the mold. This is what they looked like.

UV enhancer is not the same thing as the glo stuff.

Nip......I use about 1/2 as much as you show in a 4 punce batch.

Try to locate a cheap black light and hit the baits with it in a dark room.

Some nice glow in the dark powders can be had, but again, not the same as UV additive
