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.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
