Does GLOW = Walleyes??

[Guest]

i was just wondering what everyone thinks of using glow in the dark lures for walleyes.
i use glow jigs all the time for crappies, but i havent fished enough with them for walleyes.
Some people say walleyes dont like them because their eyes are so sensitive
please inform me on what you know

I almost ALWAYS use glow for eyes. More times than not, glow will outfish anything else.
Good Luck

Have tried both glow and nonglow in the winter.Both seem to work well but, I have not seen that big a difference.Try 'em it can't hurt.

walleyes certainly can be finicky at times. the best thing i could suggest is to use a glow jig on one line and something different on the other. keep changing until you find what they prefer. good luck!!!!

Most of my larger walleyes, including a few over 30", have come from using glow lures. These fish were taken in clear water, during low light conditions. Most often I do as Roop-Dogg suggested, working these in combination with a more subtle approach and changing tactics on occasion.
Walleyes do have more light receptive rods than cones, resulting in an eye that is more effective at gathering light, especially at dawn or dusk.
I am convinced that the small amount of light given off by a glowing lure is far more of an attractant than a repellant.
My two cents.

I use glow lures just as i would any other color. I use glow in murky conditions as i would any other bright color. But i can tell you that walleyes aren't picky at all when it comes to glow lures. i have had really good luck with plain glow hooks. i have caught many walleys on glow lures and can say that they are very effective.

I have been walleye fishing on a very murky lake (Independence) and have used multicolor jigs including glow jigs and have noticed almost no difference in production. Walleyes can see your jig if it is down there, and I think the bait is more important than the color of the jig.

Glow spoons work great for walleyes. Green glow seems to work the best for me. I like to tip the spoon with a minnow head.
Good Fishing, Matt.

I dont think it is fair to say glow jigs work on every lake. I find it is the water clarity and moonlight/sunlight that dictates when to use them. I'm sure there are times of the year that they work better or perhaps even days of the week. I bring them with but I never say glow=walleye
