Did You Know That The Majority Of Fishermen Choose Glow In The Dark Fishing Lures

By Jon Dilis

Did you know non-fishermen came up with the idea of glow in the dark fishing lures? They have worked so well that they have become a fad to fishermen all across America. According to those who have used them, the fish like them better than the others lures even during the day.

Hungry fish search for food that is moving and catches their attention. The original kinds of lures, no matter how pretty they are, appear gray under the water. That's why it is hard to catch fish with them. Even with just a minimum amount of light, the glow in the dark lures flash and shine under the water, allowing them to catch the attention of the fish.

It isn't necessary to buy expensive glow in the dark lures. You can buy a small can of bright glow in the dark paint. Bright green is highly recommended by experienced fishermen. Dip the end of the lures you already own in it. Let them dry completely. Spray them with a colorless varnish or spray paint. Once that dries, the lures will be ready to use.

Instead of dipping the ends of your lures, you can add the glow in the dark paint to specific parts of a lure. For example, if you are using a small fish lure, you can paint some of the scales, or simply paint the eyes. The idea is to paint it in a way that it will flicker and flash in the water.

If you plan to fish at night with glow in the dark lures, purchase a portable fluorescent light or black light to take with you. Place the lures under the light for three to five minutes. After that, they will glow for 8 hours. You can put your lures under the light for five seconds or more before you cast your line in the daytime, too. Then you won't have to wonder if the lure is shining under the water or not.

Fishermen say you can catch fish a whole lot easier if you use the glow in the dark fishing lures. It's definitely worth a try. Who knows? You may catch your limit the next time you go fishing.
