Why Do The Majority Of Fishermen Prefer Glow In The Dark Fishing Lures

By Jon Dilis

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.

Have you ever considered making your own glow in the dark lures instead of buying them? You only need a small can of glow in the dark paint. There are multiple colors to choose from, although, bright green seems to be the favorite among fishermen. All you have to do is put the end of lures you already have into the paint and allow them to dry. Seal them with a clear spray paint. When they dry, take them fishing and try them out.

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.

You will need to purchase a small black light or fluorescent light when you fish at night with the glow in the dark lures. You can put the lures under the light for two to five minutes, and they will glow for up to eight hours. Even during the day it helps to charge the lure for five to ten seconds before every cast. If it's in a place where the sunlight can't reach it, it will glow anyway.

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.
