One thing about glow jigs is that the paint they use now glows brighter and longer than the early ones.
glow jigs seem to work ok , not sure if they are better than a regular jig though , tested them back when , might have been better than the not glowing jigs , mine were typically in the body and not the jighead .....interesting

UPDATE: July 23, 2023
I did my research and the homework showed me that I may as well make my own. I know how to solder lures so I did. I soldered some in a #10 size gold hook and I soldered some in a #4 size gold hook. I painted them with Chartreuse and Orange powder paint. Did some in pink and I did some in a white creme color. These will work for me. I welcome more comments.

Nice looking jigs there, Ship.
Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.shipahoy41 LIKED above post
Use rosin solder, gold hooks, and tin shells.
2/3 glow chartreuse 1/3 regular chartreuse
Extra teaspoon glow powder
2/3 orange powder 1/3 glow powder
Separate containers for each powder. Shake well.
Handle teardrop lures with forceps. Apply powder with butter knife.
Use the tip of a small knitting needle for eyes and stripes.
Coat with clear fingernail polish.

How about a picture of your jigs and your plastics glowing to compare them?

The final step is to put a little Marabou hair on the end of the teardrops. They should catch Crappie and White Bass. The smaller ones will catch a ton of Bluegill and Shellcrackers. Here is a quick video of what I did.
