The people who began to make glow in the dark fishing lures weren’t even fishermen. The incredible part is that they work extremely well. Most fishermen claim the fish even prefer them during the day. These lures have become a new fad in the world of fishing.
When fish get hungry, they look for food that stands out from everything else. Since the sun’s rays can’t touch the normal shiny lures under the water, the lures appear to be gray, and the fish aren’t attracted to them very much. A glow in the dark lure picks up the smallest amount of light, causing it to shine and flash under water. It quickly catches the fish’s attention and lures it to the hook.
You don’t have to spend a lot of money to have glow in the dark lures. Buy a small can of glow in the dark paint that costs a little more than $3. 00. You can choose any color you like, however, most fishermen recommend the bright green. Use the lures you already have, and dip the ends into the paint. Once they dry, spray them with clear spray paint. When they dry, you can take them fishing.
Another idea for making your fishing lures glow in the dark is to just paint certain parts of the lure instead of just dipping the end. It works well, for example, to just paint a few of the scales on a small fish lure or just the eyes. Anything will work that causes the lure to flicker or flash under the water.
A fluorescent light or a black light is a must if you plan to use these lures to fish when it’s dark. You can charge them by allowing the light to shine on them for two to five minutes. When you remove them, they will shine for up to 8 hours. These lights can, also, be used in the daytime by passing the lure under the light for just a few seconds. Then you won’t have to worry about whether or not the lure is glowing under the water.
Fishermen who have used the glow in the dark fishing lures say they catch a lot more fish than with normal lures. Why not try them out and see if they really work? There’s no reason why you can’t catch more fish, too.
Fishing is one of those hobbies that some people cannot do without. If you are a fisherman, then you cannot do without your fishing lures and your fishing reels.
