do you need to "charge up" ficious glow jigs?

[rocknreel2]

Plan on fishing the GP area tomorrow morning w my first order of a couple of the "meat n greet" ficious glow jigs. hopefully at first light... so do I need something to give them a charge or will any sunlight do?

I get the best results from a LED flashlight. Great little flashlight, got it from Home Depot, stick it on your belt. All you need is a few seconds with that and it'll light up the night.

They will keep a glow from sunlight, but they glow super-bright if you zap em first. I use a lure charger thats just a simplified camera flash. Same charger I use for charging spoons in the summer for salmon.

Sometimes the fish want em bright, other times a soft glow is best.

I have a small single LED light called The Phazer (or something like that) clips to the "D" ring on my artic armour coat. Plus it is very bright and visible for a mile, god forbit I ever need rescue from the ice.

Just about any light source will charge them. Some are better than others, depending on what type of glow you want. Nothing beats ordinary daylight. UV is what charges this paint.

To me, they are like batteries. A slow steady daylight charge will glow longer while an intense flash style charge may glow brighter short term. During the day, you can't overcharge them. At night, like was stated in an ealier post, a dull glow may outfish a bright bait or vice versa. Once they are glowing "too" bright, they take a long time to dull down so charge them slowly til you find the glow they want that particular night.

This paint doesn't seem to have a "half life" the way the old glows did. What I mean is that they don't seem to "run down" like the old glows did. Charging a little less each time they are charged.

These are observations on my part.

Oh yeah, once the paint gets into you calusus, your fingers glow for hours too!:rolleyes: Great at parties:lol:
