charging glow jigs

Rapala has a tanning bed for jigs. Or at least used to. Site won't let me add photo right now.

UV or Blacklight flashlight. You can order online or pick them up at a hardware store like Ace.

This thread reminded me that last year when I went to purchase one of these they were out. I ran into ACE tonight and grabbed one. 10.99

I bought a few of these uv flashlights for $1 each at axman 2 winters ago. They work soooooooo much better than the standard LED flashlight I used to use and they are the size of a tube of chapstick. They use watch batteries, but I bought a 20 pack of the batteries at axman for $1 as well. Love that place!

UV all the way, made our own with UVLED's off fleabay and a small tube of PVC pipe a switch and a 9 volt. Drilled holes and mounted a bunch of LED's pointing into the tube. Drop the lure in push the switch and bingo nice and bright. If you get a UV flashlight walk around the house in the dark and see what lights up. you see things in a different light...pun intended.

Just remember UV is bad for your eyes, so don't stare at it. I think if it's < 395nanometer wavelength it's bad for the eyes.

I didn't knwo that about UV lighting. Thank you for sharing! I had been using just a plain little Mini-Mag LED flashlight attached to my jacket. I'll have to find a UV flashlight.

They better be as good as advertised because I just bought one yesterday based on all the chatter about them. I should have it in hand tomorrow.

they will charge up your glow jigs better than anything else. it's science.

for those using camera flashes, heres a tip you may or may not know. Cover the flash with tim foil, poke a hole in the foil for the jig to fit in, and then flash the jig. You have minimal light escaping ( less blinding to ur partner ) AND that extra light also goes back to the jig rather than escaping which = LONGER GLOW time !!

This will be my third year using this from Northland. Checked it a few weeks ago and still going strong. Well worth the 6/7 bucks? I paid for it. Easily and just sits in the tackle box. That power flash looks pretty sweet though.

Been using one of these for the last 4 or 5 years works great. I also put black lights in my portable this year for this exact reason.

That made me laugh Bryce. I have one of these "tanning Beds" too and its the best thing Ive used for recharging my Glo Jigs

Black light (UV)will be best way to charge. Inversely the brightness and length of glow depends on the color of the glow. Red=longer but less bright due to longer wavelength. ROYGBIV= Remember that from school? Uv is to the left of R(red). Uv light is invisible to us. Fish are believed to see uv.
