Now those are kiler. I think you are on to something there my friend. Great job.
Bobo
thank you bobo it is not the best pitcher in the world but it definitely says a lot I'm sure that they will work out just fine I'm sending you one with the other stuff that I promised you some living rubber red and white with a couple other jigs take the glow jig when you get it and put a light on it and go into the dark you don't have to even gets close to the dark it will shine in semi-shade.
I have tried out some glow baits.......cant say I can really tell much difference
We had use glow-in-the-dark jigs for quite some time or are used efficiently the snake River they work quite well just when it was getting dark here locally we use them was quite good success) today it seemed to make a big difference so I think it just the right time and right place and of course if the water is deep and where it is semi-dark good time to fish with them is when it is dark the thing of it is G if the Fisher hitting it doesn't seem to matter as you probably know crappie short trigger by action and a course pro and con on colors but I find that glow-in-the-dark do have a big impact on the fish also uv essay difference also.Quote:

The only thing I use the glow for anymore is ice plastics. Small ice plastics. The problem I have had with glow is that in the water its has an ugly big "aura" around the glowing portion of the bait making it appear way larger than it is. On cameras we have seen crappies and sunfish turn right away from baits with large areas of glow. I'll bet that's what is happening with you Bob.
I am just going by past experience G and I know what happened when I use them during a late evening and they definitely caught fish for me but during the daytime I do not know if there is a big bearing with them or not I was you send skips glow jigs during the day and they were quite effective that's all I can say so it is probably true if you are spider rigging of course the plastics or whatever you were using my to have more action than the glow-in-the-dark?Quote:

I should add here this is normally not the size that I would use to fish with we normally use 1/32 or 1/64 with the glow-in-the-dark.Quote:

The most improtant thing to have is CONFIDENCE when you are using them. They are really neat Bob. You did a really great job.

Ship we've been making glow-in-the-dark plastics for many years matter-of-fact we were making jigs 20 years ago did you know at one time that we had tube baits more than 20 years ago they sold like hotcakes they were a different thing nothing like the softer ones on the market today these were a tough vinyl on fortunately that we cannot buy them anymore they were a import and we bought them out of Seattle think we were buying like something 5 to 10,000 at a time.
