Anybody have a source for glow in the dark chenille?
I know someone on here has it. Not sure if it was FF46 or someone else.
Are you set on glow chenille or open to another material to give it some glow? I have some Larva Lace glow in the dark that is fairly good. A strip of that on each side of any jig should make it plenty visible after dark and in murky water. Price isn't bad and one pack could go a long way.
Nightprowler : Been a nightfisherman most of my 62 years. Glow material is fine but can often easily be overdone. Usually all you need is a hint of glow. I like to use the soft glo beads on my jigs that you can get from Cabelas.
Cousin of mine was fishing with me one night and I murdered them on the little glow beads and live bait. He thought that little bead would NOT make that much of a difference. Well next thing you know its daylight and I got him whopped about 30 -10.
Three nights later I am basking in the glory again. Finally I asked him you want a rig like mine. Nope he replies I got some that are even better. What he meant by better was every thing on his jighead glowed. Actually this trip was much worse a whipping than first one.
I started with a small glow bead for night fishing and I stopped right there. Had other guys try to outglow me with bigger beads and bigger glo heads. My personal opinion is that too much looks too un- natural in the fishies world.
Ice and trout fishing over the years have taught me that little things can make a big difference.
By all means experiment but remember a little goes a long way.The lakes you fish might differ slightly than the ones I beat to a froth.

NightProwler,
I have been into glow for several years and have come up with a lot of different ways to get the jigs to glow. I am experimenting with a charging system that is better than anything you can buy. Here are 2 that are on the market now. If you have any questions let me know.

I made an all glow jig and fished it at night and caught a 1 1/2 lb. goldfish last Sunday. I'm in agreement with Hays on this one,I favor just glow eyes on some of my jigs.
