HOLY SMOKES !! you must fish waaaaay different lakes then I do. For crying out loud I catch fish on glow jigs during the day!

Sorry for not sharing any specific technique.. My lures rarely change depending on the time of day. I fish glow all the time.

I have tons of success with RED glow and Green glow. I fish walleyes and panfish.

Horizontal presentation. Spring bobber. and Glow.. for me. This is a recipe for success.

Good luck!

In darker water I will try THUMPIN the bottom then jig up,then slow flutter or slow lower.. Sediment on bottom is also an attractor to the glow jig..Walleye is mostly what I use this method..My glow jigs for panfish either have tiny flipper blades or small spinners on eyelet.. Thumpers,fairy jigs,Northland Whistler jighead..Keep it glowed up.. Paitence,application,experimenting,trying differant structure, bottom content etc....It all is part of the equation.. Have fun..

I use glow jigs day and night, both in stained and clear water. I Tend to use red glow more in stained waters versus clear water but red also has its time and place. In clear water when the fish get conditioned to green or blue, especially with crappies sometimes a switch to a red glo will spark the school again for a while. I find glow jigs to be most effective at night but as the season wears on and the snow gets deeper, theres no reason not to use them during the day. As far as the colors go, red glows the brightest but dies the quickest so charge it every couple minutes, with green glo in the middle, not needed to be charged quite as often. Blue glow is the dullest but will glow the longest without a charge. On my rattle reels for late night fishing I will always have a green or blue glow. With one charge, a blue glo will shine all night without an additional charge which makes them ideal for a rattle reel and minnow combo.

Glow can help at times. But its not that you fish them any different. They are just a lure, that happens to have a pigment in the pain that makes them glow. There are times when it seems like the fish want it bright. If you dont get bit within 5 mins of re-charging it, then you better get her glowing bright again. Then there are times when it seems the fish prefer it to be dull and just barely noticable.

I think if your having troubles with not catching fish on glow lures your bigger problem may be location and not the glow lures.

note to self, about blue being a good night rattle reel jig,I misplaced that info somewhere in my longterm memorie bank, read that some where a few years back about glow jigs. boar

[Deitz Dittrich]

actually its violet/purple that will glow the longest I think.. but as stated, hardly visible to our eye..
