Thread: glow-in-the-dark powder

Hey Bob ,
This is an issue I looked into a few years ago. Glow Nation is "phosphorescent" glow in the dark pigments and Glow.Inc. is " Alkaline Rare Earth Metal Silicate-Aluminate Oxide Europium Doped". I have tried both and Glow,Inc is far superior of any of the glow pigment on the market today. I do not use it commercially so I am willing to pay a little more for the glow. I just use it on jig heads so a little goes a long way. The Ultra Green v10 Glow in the Dark Powder is what I use.
Ultra Green v10 Glow in the Dark Powder - Hope I am not stepping on your toes Bob, just trying to share what I do.

Ive used them before and was happy. But like everything else there are different grAdes of powder. Mainly in particle size. Im not a fan of their zinc red.

I learned a long time ago that you get what you pay for. Glow inc. is a brighter product and the tiny bit I buy will last me a year because my glow squirts are for my use.

no problem we will give them a shot if their pigment is no good we will definitely use the more expensive one that I think most of the guys are using.

I got a question how far will a quarter ounce of them expensive stuff go of the glow-in-the-dark.

Mike you are exactly right you get what you pay for any more we have found out out with most everything you buy now days.we were just trying to be helpful and did not know if anybody had used the cheaper stuff or not hope that it may be a benefit for the guys they cannot afford to buy the more expensive stuff.

Those who make thousands of lures might use other materials but as I said, I will not make enough to buy a pound of it.

Ive used the V10 Ifish is talking about and its about the cream of the crop. Its great for jigheads as stated where a little goes a long way. I dont use it in plastics because of the cost.
