    I'm a believer in Southern Pro Caps and Coleman 2.5'' tubes in glow colors. The proof is in the pudding. This is just one of many posts and even more catches this past spring using them.

    I like to use them on a jig just as it starts getting dark. It can help you pick up an extra fish or two. Make sure to put them in front of a light before fishing it. Also use a glow crappie nibble. I think a crappie is a lot like us and likes to have a little snack before shutting down for the day.
    Every once in a while I've changed to a glow bait on a jig and it's outfished everything in the box.

    glow-in-the-dark jigs have the advantage over other Jigs, especially in deep water. We pretty much will use them around-the-clock now, regardless if its daytime or nighttime. I find the difference just before dusk, if you shine them up it seems to trigger the fish. They can see it a little bit better, but we've done quite well using skips glow-in-the-dark jigs. They are super bright and of course I use the pigment in my plastic baits. Also I use glow-in-the-dark paint for my jigs. It seems to help quite a bit, & also top it off with UV feathers. Also you can get UV powder to coat your heads, which helps a little bit more. But if you get a chance to try some of skips glow-in-the-dark jigs, please do so.

    I really like them most in spring when fish are more aggressive , baitfish larger , and waters dingy or fishing deep. I caught them on Dardanelle and Nimrod . Let the fish help you , try them and I think you'll be suprized just how big a bait a Crappie will eat. Just look how big the stuff is in most Crappie bellies and you will be convinced they feed on what's available.

    Yep low light (charge with a Flashlight periodically), dipping shallow cover after dark, Dark pockets of shade around large cover (cypress trees, boat docks), or fishing very deep with tubes, glow cranks on cloudy days. Glow Works.
