Who makes the best glow jigs?

The Neon Glow jigs from Outdoor Pro Store seem to glow great, and hold it for a while too.

I just received my order today, the 47 piece set. Haven't had a chance to fish with them yet, but the paint jobs are nice on them, hooks are sharp, and the one I charged up with my LED light was still glowing after 15 minutes.

Yep, I'm liking them fine so far. Good selection of nice, bright colors, paint seems to be good quality, good "glowability", good mix of verticals, horizontals and sizes.

Can't wait for Saturday so I can get out and fish with them.

Take a look at the Illuminator Glow Jig.

Pros: high tech, water activated, 80+ hours, lithium battery, circuit board & LED, also finished in traditional glow paint, and red hook. NO need for continual flashing or recharging. No switches as the lithium battery is built into the resin head, micro circuit turns on in the water and off when dry - huge plus.

Cons: bit pricey, only available in one size - weighs about 1/8 oz (actually 3/8 oz in size), currently only available in pink and chartreuse.

Whenever I'm fishing in the dark I use the Red Glow Genz Worm. I took my flashlight to my entire tackle box in a dark room to test and the Genz Worms glowed brighter and longer than anything else. Just about everything I have glows... but the Genz is the brightest.

Thanks guys, I really like some of the custom jigs and spins lures but seem to have to keep glowing them. Here's another question, does glow paint have a usage limit (like how many times you can charge a deep cycle)? I feel like if I have been using the same jig for many glow-ups that it does not seem to last as long. Also, does the time, lets say 5 seconds compared to 20 seconds, make a difference to how long they stay lit? Thanks again for all the input.

Like Harvey said, the quality of the glow paint on the lures is what makes the biggest difference. In the In-Fish Ice Annual this year, they had a really good write-up on glow jigs and the different paints and how they reacted differently to light.

I have a couple ideas, but need to test them out first before I go spouting out information, but I think I know which light to use to make them glow better than anything else.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
