Glow bead discovery

[ReelfootYankee]

I don't limit my use of glow lures for just night fishing, they work really well on cloudy days, in muddy water, and fishing deep water during daylight hours too!

I haven't really had that good of results fishing fully charged glow baits at night in clear water, it freaks my fish out because it doesn't look natural I think... but that's prolly just me and my very picky fish.:rolleyes:

A full charge on a good glow in the dark material be it a bead, lace or whatever is bright, very bright. As the charge begins to fade it becomes more intriguing to the fish, or this is the way it seems for me. Imagine a glow bead under water that is making a glowing halo of 10-15 around it in clear water. Fish is gonna go and tell his buddies he saw an underwater flying saucer. Once it dims enough that it lights up just enough to show the profile of the lure then it may work better in clear water.

I have had similar results fishing trout. Right off the bat, no bite but 2-3 minutes later the fish will hit it. Does the high glow scare them off, who knows but it has to mean something because the charge of the beads I used to use only lasted about 10 minutes and after less than a minute it was dim enough it was hard fro me to see. And this was at night on clear water.

can you get these glow pellets at wal mart, is it the ones they sell for the little guns? I might have to experiment

I think it is like $12 for 2000 or something like that. I have 6 stores including Wal-Mart that carry them here. Now if the stores owuld carry descent fishing tackle.
