Who makes the best glow jigs?

[lookingforluck]

Hello all, I have tried a bunch of glow jigs but none seem to stay as bright as when you glow them for very long. Any person have that little hole in the wall jig that really glows? Thanks in advance!!!! LFL

Anyone who uses crushed glass in the paint, Maynard's makes a good glow jigs IMO.

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.

Glad to see your happy with your Outdoor pro series jigs.

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.

I think the Lindy Technicolor glow series are the brittest I've seen. Northland tackles colors don't seem very bright nor last very long. I was wondering the same thing myself. I'm tired of charging every couple of minutes.

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.

keep your jigs outside in a clear tackle box durring day light.

The paint will/should hold its glow longer, then if you light them up with light for little time. Think of it as trickel charge.

I really like the Custom Jigs. The blue glow will glow all night on the rattles reels without a charge. The paint can take some pretty good abuse.

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.

Alot depends on the quality of the glow paint that is used on the jigs.

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.

I have had great luck with the Scenic lures from the FM outdoor pro store.
