True glow jigs-most glow green.

[DDSBYDAY]

     Glow colors are often talked about.  What are the true glow colors?  Just so you know most glow green.  I like to use a splash of orange glow on my lures.  It glows orange.  Green  chartreuse glows the brightest.  Glow pink glows green .  So far I can only find a true glow red, orange and green.  The red is subtle but truely glows red.  Orange is a little brighter  and truely orange.  All the rest glow green.  Blue glow lure glows green.  White glow is green. 

       Just remember our eyes are different than fish.  We have many more cones(color receptors) in our eyes.  That subtle red glow may look like a Las Vegas Hotel  to a hungry fish used to complete darkness.  Don't think the glow lure is not charged just because you can not see it.  I think a subtle glow from ambient light is all you need.  Just a touch to single your lure out in the complete darkness of the underwater world. 

      What are your thoughts on glow lures?       If you like them lit up try a black light.  It is a must have if you want your lures to charge fast and glow bright.

I have blue and pink lures that glow blue and pink.  I promise.  I will take a picture of them if you want.  But I do agree that lots of glow lures no matter the paint color do glow green.

Here are some photos.  Sorry they aren't very clear.  The camera didn't wanna cooperate in the dark.

I almost only use glow lures.  The best light source I've found is using those florescent light bulbs in the fish house.  They really make them glow bright.

I also only use jigs that glow if not completely they glow in some part.  Not sure if I am crazy or not but it seems that if I haven't caught a fish in a while and that jig was working I can pull it up and get it to glow with my LED flashlight and as soon as I get it in the range the fish are I get one.  Maybe it is just wishful thinking but I think that I will keep only using glow jigs.

I was using a glow jig catching crappies last winter. The paint completely chipped off of it and my hands were cold (ok maybe I was being lazy) so I did not change it. Just used it in its lead form and no change in action, still caught just as many fish this way. I am sure at times glow can help but sometimes especially with live bait all you need is a hook.
