    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

    One thing about glow jigs is that the paint they use now glows brighter and longer than the early ones.

    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.

    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 plastic lures glow so much better. The teardrops not so much but that is ok. I will just fish them in daylight under my slip float. These are my glow jigs..

    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.
