Full Version: Glow Tubes?

Would love to hear comments about your favorite GLOW TUBES. Looking for things like duration of glow, overall durability and maybe even discuss price and where to find them but please don't bad mouth any brand. I've tried several different brands from Sportsman's Warehouse to find some work better than others but would like to hear your picks.

Thanks in advance!

I prefer the Radical Glow for brightness and longevity.

I thought radical glow was the way to go till I saw how the maniac stuff glowed. it's so much brighter, and glow's alot longer. just my own observation!

I have had my Radical Glow tubes glow for more than an hour (I fell a sleep) at home when a 12 bulb UV light was used. I do not leave any thing down that long w/o checking it any way. I called after looking online and had them picked up in PG the next day by a relative.

Maniac makes awesome products. Aces in my book.

I also think that the Radical glow products probably glow the longest. But I personally prefer the fish the Maniac Ice Gutters or Gizzy bugs. They glow great and bright, maybe not as long as the Radical glow, but I seam to catch more fish with them.

I like all the Maniac stuff, and picked up a number of glowy tubes from Sportman's. Nothin' like a gizzy bug!
A number if ice-jigs, and other gow-style jig-heads, including some tungsten ones. Love the glow.

The one thing I've really found helpful, is the LED UV flashlight I picked up. Compared with zapping with a white light - much more glow, and faster. Of course - if it's sunny outside, open a zipper and stick it outside the tent. Nothing like our 'ol Sun to give 'em a good shot of UV!
Radical for me. Online radicalglow dot com, sportsmans has them sometimes. I think that it's the natural green that was the brightest for me. I got the chartreuse the white and natural. I charged them and the natural was the brightest. I was surprised because the chartreuse is so much brighter in the light. They are a little pricey, maniacs can be too. I have both and use both.
been useing the maniac 6'' minnow and they have been rocking the burbot they dont glow for long but when your hole hoping it doesnt really matter! this pic was 4hrs of fishing with the minnows. radical glow is great and so are yammamoto baits!
