During the day I think they can be a help and sometimes do better than one not glowing, but as you said just another tool. I know they work day time especially fishing down 10' or more as the light in my lake that deep would probably not be reaching much. I know with mine every time you pull them up the sun will charge the heck out of them.

I am not sure at all, but I believe you probably would have your jigs most visible with UV material and probably farther through the water. Since in Crystal Clear water the last color that can be seen is blue at 40' and UV color or light can go 700' through the water. You can't see it, but the fish can. The only way you can see it's there is under a black light, but Florescent color also glow under a black light.

Take a bass, He can see roughly 15'-17' in stained water and about 5' in muddy water so you can see where they can see so much better than we can it's hard to know more than what you experience when you fish these glow or UV materials.

I am going to try some chenille this next year with UV and I can make my heads UV coated now. So the only part not being UV would be the tail.

If glow is cool and should help especially in stained water, UV has to be awesome, IMHO!

I hope this addresses your question! Can't say I know enough to be definitive about this, but the evidence seems pretty clear to me.
