Glow Jigs

[smeese]

Anyone have a good brand of Glow Jig thay they reccommend? I bought a ton of the Northland stuff, and some Lindy stuff and it all seems to glow for about 10 seconds then it fizzles out. Reccommendations are appreciated.

[Christopher Quast]

Those brands all last longer than that for me usually. What are you charging them with? I use a cheap flasher or led light or a tazer from I believe LIndy. Others that come to mind are Demons by custum jigs and spins, plain old moon glows, and I have good luck also with Shrimpos from custom jigs also, the head glows and so does the body on these, and they work awesome for crappies, and the last one that really sticks in my mind is the Forage Minnow by Northland.

thats what i thought also, but bring your tackle in a dark room and turn the lights off and see how long they glow. I was fishing with a friend a few years ago up at LOW and he keeped saying that his jigs dont glow long. well that night sitting in the cabing I seen his tackle box was on the table so I hit the light switch and box glowed for about 20 minits. he couldn't believe it.

i like glow demons

[L_Cappo]

thye might not seem to glow a long time but once the lights are out take a look ar your tackle box.mine glows just like a lantern lol but then again thats all i use is glow jigs.

Charge them with a florescent light or a blue-white led. The wavelength emitted by these light really charge them fast (like 5 seconds or less) and they glow for 20 minutes.

"Neon lights" (no idea who makes them) last a long time. I bought them at a sporting show - they're pretty plain, just a hook covered with a bit of a glow coating, sort of like a teardrop jig - but I have some big enough for walleyes.

Not to push one of our own products.. But OutDoorProStore sells neon glow jigs.. Some of the best I have ever used. Moon Glows are one of my go to lures.

glow demons seem to have a good glow to them. BuckShots keep a good glow also.

[Craigums]

JamminJigs Glo seem to hold their charge for a long time. They are the ones Deitz mentioned. I also bought some of the Flutter jigs and only half of them had any glow and only 2 of them held the glow long

I use a camera style flash sold for charging the jigs and such. I did get some of the OutdoorProStore ones with the flashers attached where you tie on the line......VERY NICE! Thanks for all input I have a box full but I am gonna try sdome new stuff.....time to head to Madison Lake.

[Eckie]

FWIW....I also like Lindy TechniGlo jigs. I use a camera flash as well, and these jigs perform and glow very well.

Try getting a lure lightning. Best thing I've used for charging. Don't have to charge as long and last a lot longer.

[Eckie]

Sandmannd...

I just googled Lure Lightning...had never heard of it. Very cool concept! Have you noticed any significant, additional draw on the battery?

[smeese]

Maybe it was just my eyes adjusting to the dark last night.I will try it again and see how long they last

[Sandmannd]

I have seen no extra draw on my battery. They aren't on all that much. I like them because you just dangle your lure there and use your foot to light it up. No fumbling for your light or nothing. Always there and always charged. Great guy to deal with as well. I have one on my vex, marcum and lowrance.

[Eckie]

And, no constant buying of 4 AA batteries for my camera flash!

My only other question is, would the softpack on my Marcum interfere with the mounting of this? You mentioned that you have one on your Marcum...which Marcum do you have?

[smeese]

Yeah i was wondering this same thing for use on my Vex Ultra pack. Any help is appreciated.

[Sandmannd]

Doesn't interfer at all. I have the LX-5 and FL-8. What you do is take one of the screws in the side that hold them to the mount out of the flasher. Poke and find where that hole is on the outside of the bag and mark it with a pen. I then heated up a screwdriver with a lighter. Just a little push and it goes right through. I did another hole next to that to put the wiring through that goes to the battery (the wires will connect to the battery and then have posts on them for your flasher to plug into). Once that's done, push your wires through and then screw the light in where the knob was. Done, working well and you won't see the holes at all.

[Lure Lightning]

We have seen great success from all of the mentioned lures "neon from prostore" "lindy" "maynards" etc. Try a better light source and you will be suprised at the brighter and longer glow. Thanks for the compliments fellow FM team. Hope to see you on the ICE. -Dan and Randy

I talked to one tackle manufacturer about this years ago and he said " The good paint is out there but no one will spend the money to put it into production". The fear is that no one would buy the product at the price to produce it.

There does exist paint that will glow for 10 min+

[smeese]

Any idea on the paint brand? I am down to do some custom work

[wolfman-k]

Seriously, do a search for Maynard's fishing Tackle. You won't be disappointed.

Also, a big shout out to Lure Lightning, great product!

[lure lighting guy]

Smeese-

I second the lure lightning and it reminded me to order one for my buddy I called the contact us number and the guy was a realy nice guy and they had GLOW PAINT which you were looking for. I will get my light and paint on Tues and let you know how it works out.

[lure lighting guy]

I actually got my buddies new light and the glow paint on Monday afternoon and was very impressed with the brightness and length of the glow paint and I have used alot of the over the counter stuff, but this seems much brighter. I have been painting alot of my jigs that didnt glow with it and it works pretty slick.. It might be what you were looking for smeese.
