In a lot. Of our waters a full-glow bait will often chase a fish away. All that glow makes the bait appear as though it's about 4 times its actual size. Still, glow baits can be a super productive bait even in hot weather when the fish begging to orient to deeper water. Here's how I counter that issue and still get the benefit of the glow. I find much smaller, areas and more precisely placed glow makes all the difference in the world and the fish are way less like.y to spook because of glow baits that look larger than they really are.



What I have done here is to mix a small amount of the glow pigment with a tiny bit of worm oil. This gets dotted onto a half bait hand-pour near the tail of the body, then the finish injection is done. In this picture I am using a green glow that has a slight green color to it so you can get the gist of what I am saying. Most of today's glow pigments are of a high performance quality and will show thru even in black as has been shown here.

Somewhere in all of this posting I showed a picture of a Jacobs bait with a small round, but flat, tail disc that is done in clear glow with the remainder of the tail done in chartreuse, then the body done in my clear bluegill glitter color. I call these little baits "Stop Lights" because they resemble an old fashioned stop light and pole. I make these in several colors and use them mostly when the water temps begin to sink down and out of reality....near freezing.
