Fishslayer, Thank you Very Much for your Response. Looks like pretty intense stuff that you have shown to be effective.

Are you ready to go on Sunday?

[cool]I've never used this stuff myself. Just seen it in action. It is awesome bright.

I use GID paint from Michael's.

[cool] That stuff looks great. I've been making jigs and spoons for years, and have been incorporating the glow stuff for a couple now. Have had good personal success and a lot of good reports from others using my fancy stuff.

As Bill "Dunce" says often on his scintillating show, visibility is a key factor in triggering fish to strike. This is especially important in murky water or low light conditions. I have also found that bright colors and glow paints help a lot in water that is a few degrees colder than ideal.

I'm definitely going to get a sampler kit of this stuff and work it into my lineup of "lightups". I have been buying small bottles from Jann's Netcraft and local hobby and craft shops. It would appear that this powerful powdered stuff will produce both a brighter and longer lasting product. I'm especially anxious to work in some of the blue. I have some buddies who fish lake trout (macks) through the ice and they have had good luck with the blue glow. I have not been able to find a good one until now.

A couple of questions to anyone else out there playin' with the glow stuff. Is anyone throwing these jigs after dark? For what species and with what success? I'm thinking there might be a good application for WSB here...or calicos at the very least. I'm thinking both the blue and the green will work.

If you do fish the glow stuff at night, here's a hint. Rather than charge up the glow paint with a flashlight, take along a strobe flash unit. It's faster and lasts longer. Just be sure you look away when you flash the lure or you will be seeing a blue "moon" in front of your eyes for awhile. This can give your lures a boost in the daytime too, if there is a bit of overcast (in California?).

One other tip. I make a lot of black lures, with chartreuse eyes. It is a universal good color. When you make those eyes with glow in the dark chartreuse, it can be a killer in deep water or low light.

Also had a thought on the YT jigs. If you make one face of the iron glow white or chartreuse, try making either a line or a lightning bolt down the center with either black or glow red. Try it, yellow'll like it.

For anyone who hasn't used glow paints before, remember to put down a good coat of white first. If you are using regular glow paint, keep mixing it well while you are using it, to keep the glow material well mixed. Sometimes it takes a couple of coats of the glow paint to get a good glow. I always finish my glow painted lures with a coat of clear epoxy paint. It keeps the paint from being scratched off by teeth so quickly, and it is resistant to soft plastics and chemicals.

For using the powders, I will probably do the same thing I do for glitter paints...mix it up in clear vinyl jig paint. That stuff dries in a few seconds, so it won't run like slower drying paints. Then, after applying it over white epoxy paint, I will coat it with the clear epoxy.

About 15 years ago I started expermenting with GID shrimp flies for rockfish in SanDiego, I used some flytieing stuff called Glow in the dark Flashabou, the trick is on the deepwater fish is to not over load the fly with too much if it's too bright it wont work.

The flies worked great in deep water and at nite.[]

[cool] I tie flies and make dressed jigs too. I have been using the GID flashabou for both fly patterns and ice fishing jigs for quite awhile. Never took a poll (pole) with the fishies to see if I overdecorated or not, but it's true that sometimes less is more.

I know one guy that gets bait off a pier that likes to use little GID flies at night to catch all kinds of stuff. Lit up flies also work well for surf perch and jack smelt, especially when sweetened with a little bait or shrimp attractant. Never got any corbina on them, but they should be good for croakers.

Oh yeah, I used to slam the big lingcod up off San Simeon on green neon. Got a few decent ones out off the oil rigs between Santa Barbara and the Islands too. Had a couple of big soupfin sharks eat the brightened iron too.
