Glow in the Dark Jigs

[AgriHawg]

I've been planning to tie a few glow in the dark jigs. Seeing Skips new signature jig reminded me about them.

What are you guys opinion of glow in the dark jigs?
Do they glow well?
Do they catch fish?

I was planning on using them for some night fishing during the summer. Anybody got some pics of glow in the darks?

The jigs I tied for the jig swap #5 have a glow head.These heads are made by Erie Dearie.You can also buy glow chenille from Angler's Workshop.
I use the glow heads in some of our stained lakes and have great success with them.Right now I am using 1/80th oz. jig heads with glow chenille for ice fishing.

Ive never been really impressed with glow jigs but have to believe they do work.

I do have pictures but it was at night and the lake was dark at 15 feet

Mine glow very bright and for a long time as well. Please don't ask how I make them as I don't really tell that or almost never. Took a while to come up with what I use.

I guess telling wouldn't be that bad since I don't sell many, but still just one of them thangs.

i dont tie glow jigs myself due to i hate to keep flashin them to keep it glowing but i have found that they sell a glow powder on ebay and if you mix it in some clear finger nail polish it works very well and glows along time and you can paint over your head(they make glow powder paint)and your body to might it glow...you should get junglejim to post some of his...he has some really nice glow jigs

I do think about telling about it a lot so maybe soon, maybe. It's not really simple and requires things most don't use or have.

I bought a bottle of GLOW dimensional fabric paint at Wal Mart....makes nice eyes, just put some on and let it dry for 72 hours. It's like a stiff glue when it comes out of the bottle, glows well and for a good duration. It's not a glaring glow, which I'm told will spook some fish. Another alternative is a fabric paint available at certain craft stores called Polymark brand....also available in a glow.

Something else I've used is a glow in the dark Pony Bead Lacing at Hobby Lobby....fifteen feet of this fine hollow lacing tubing runs a little over a buck twenty. It's the milky white coil. I clip a little, slide it over the barb and super glue it up next to the jighead....easy to do, also has a soft glow that lasts well. The way I tie flat strands on each side makes the tubing visible from underneath.

I don't know how much glow you want, but the above should help. Good fishing, Mac

I just recieved some new glow paint from Fish Vision. I painted some heads today and they said to let it set for 24 hours. Supposed to glow over 200 times brighter and not have to recharge it. Once it sets up, I'll post my thoughts on it.
