We all know the advantages of using GLOW (phosphorescent) baits in low-to-no light conditions, and also the edge we get with UV baits. I can paint spoons either way, or both ways if I paint both sides. These work deep and they work dark.
Recently I won a Storm bait in a small raffle. I took this interesting bait into a dark room about 7 pm last nite and hit it with the 'black-light' and she lit up as I suspected. What I really liked, but didn't expect, I found walking down the dark hallway back to the den. The bait was still glowing as if it had a small LED inside. This morning when I awoke at 5 am, this little bait was still glowing, although quite faint.
What do they use? Not all 'glow' paints/beads/blades/bodies can be charged with UV light, and some won't react to UV light. Some 'glows' must be charged/excited with bright light. And, UV certainly does not glow in the dark without the presence of UV light to reflect.
This seems like the best of both worlds to me. One lure to serve two specific areas of fishing.
I'm going to try and duplicate this effect with a few different processes, but I could use a clue if anyone has one.
