siebler_custom_baits Posted February 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 I found it. How much should i use per cup though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 You have to play with it a little. Start with 1/8 tsp then pour one out; have a look; then go from there. Either add another 1/8 tsp or more and have another look. Continue on until you get what you want. Expect to ruin a batch or two when you are trying to make new recipies though. Be careful with the heat as it will change the color a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Splash Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 This stuff is noticeably heavy too - stir then pour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlures Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Hey CJ, They also make skirt rubber skirt material that glows. I got some off ebay so I dont no where it came from. I personaly dont think glow works for bass. I made some 5 in swimbaits and fished them at night for an hour with no bites. Then I put on the same bait except it didnt glow and I caught a fish on the 3rd cast. I caught 4 more within the next half hour in the same spot. maybe jigs are diferent but I think its a gimmick. let me know if they work Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted February 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Yea i also got some glow off of ebay. i got a pound of it. After i make up this new model by the summer i am going to offer some on sdfish( mostly for those fishing the elcajon night tournaments) to try out.

siebler_custom_baits Posted February 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Matt, I forgot to mention that the whole jig wont be glow. It will have a semi glow head, glow eyes, and a bulky ( the most important part, at least to me and a couple of the local pros i talk to, of a night fishing lure) skirt that will mainly come in a color with about 1/4 of the strand being the glow material. I am hoping to get Kellen to fish one along with other pros and a few select people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
