Glow in the dark lure



I just created this guy a couple of days ago. The green stripes don't glow, but all the natural wood is covered in a clear base glow in the dark paint. I shine my flashlight on em for about 30 secs and he turns nuclear. What do ya think?

I think it looks good and is a neat idea. LMK how it tests.

Re: Glow in the dark lure

Yeah i like it, plenty of detail! Is it just paint over a lead body for a bit of weight and casting purposes? What type of fish are you going to target?
Just a thaught you could possibly do away with the wraps around the treble if you're doing a fast retreive as i don't think it will matter all that much and you'll probably get a better hookup rate.
cheers birdy.

Re: Glow in the dark lure

What paint did you use for the glow effect? Would like to add some to my spoons for salmon fishing after dark. Thanks.

Re: Glow in the dark lure

Glow in the dark is my color of choice for deep cloudy water, night fishing, and salmon, and stripers. You can also mix cheap glow in the dark paints with dark paint and get the same glow. Go easy on the brightness as most fish won't eat a flashlight.

Re: Glow in the dark lure

The treble is a little messy and the excessive bulk on it is unneeded, but otherwise nice job. I can't tell how you tied the material on the treble on, but this is how you could clean it up. Get some glow in the dark flashabou or some other glowing material. Use thread to wrap around the hook like you're tying a fly or jig, try to keep the layer of thread to one wrap around the hook shank. This will clean up your treble and make the hook-up rate of it much better.

Here's a link to a tutorial for tying stuff onto trebles;

Re: Glow in the dark lure

We use those lures as jigs on the Chesapeake Bay for stripers all of the time ........ most guys change out the trebles for single hooks though ....... they catch many a fish
