Think it would be better if the head was painted and then over coated with UV clear. Know UV colors will be seen farther than non UV, but so will Florescent colors be seen better. Being seen doesn't mean a bite, but think being seen helps IMHO! Read up on these things so you learn more about it all. I am not going to write all I have read here in a post so you would be better off just taking time to learn more about all this.
I have read uv info till my eyes hurt. I am in fact writing an article on it for our clubs newsletter I was looking for any one that has used it successfully . thanks skip, I like the clear idea over the painted head. rich mcQuote:

It just becomes an xtra step in the tying process. = less time fishing.
