carolinamike Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I decided to give the UV brightener a test for myself. I tested it in a clear plastic with a little green hi-lite, then I tested a white worm (with and without a blacklight).

carolinamike Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) where can the UV brightener be purchased? Jonah, this can be purchased from Lureworks. The proper name for it is UV-GLO. I don't know why I can't ever remember the right name for it. I'm sure they have it on their website.

carolinamike Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks for the info. How much of the UV Glow did you use? Jonah, I used very little but you've got to remember very little to me would be a massive amount for you guys, because I mix 5 gallons at a time. On the fish body shown in the picture, I did only mix about 2 1/2 gallons and I only used about 3 pinches in my fingers to get the effect in the picture. So maybe 1/2 teaspoon. Because I mix large amounts, my dyes and pigments usually come in a little stronger strength, or it could be thicker or even be a powder. So it's hard for me to tell you how much to use gauging off of my pigments. The reason for this is to make it more user friendly for you guys, where you can use drops, instead of grams. That is one throw back to the pigments that I use. On any production run careful weighing and measuring has to be done. I don't want to send a bait to a customer that is a different color than the last baits he got from me, consistency is important. I did look on Lureworks website to see what quantities that this comes in so I'm assuming it is a liquid product, so I'm going to guess that a couple of drops per ounce of plastic will be sufficient, but I"ll double check this for sure and I'll chime back in and give you some more information.

carolinamike Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Sorry about the website Mark. We've had this issue for awhile now. We know what it is, we've just been lazy and haven't gotten around to straightening it out. We've got to restructure the whole thing to an informational site only because we no longer do retail. We mainly manufacture for other companies. If you're looking for UV-GLO you'll need to go to Spike-It's website. Click on Lureworks, then click on pigments and dyes.
