mark poulson Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) I did a site search, but was unable to find what I wanted. Is there an additive to make soft plastics glow in the dark? Not UV, but something that will make the baits glow. I fished a night tournament recently, and my partner had some glow in the dark swimbaits that looked like search lights! I don't want that strong a glow, but I'd like to be able to make my baits glow a little. Can I add the Glonation power to my plastic?

kevin24018 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 there are glow in the dark pigments....if you search ebay or amazon you'll find them, alibaba is the cheapest I found, there are glow in the dark plastics on ebay just to give you an idea of what's there.

DaBehr Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Do-it (formally Caney Creek) sells Glow in the Dark. I use it on my ice fishing baits and there is no doubt it makes a difference. You don't need very much per 4oz of plastic (they recommend 1/8tsp) so a container makes a LOT of baits! http://store.do-itmolds.com/Super-Glow-Powders_p_316.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Jeff from MF contacted me, and I ordered some of his glow additive. I only want a hint, not a floodlight, so I'm going to play around with it in some pearl/white plastic to see how it looks in the dark.

mark poulson Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I got my nite glow green from M-F, and added some to a pearl white that I use for a green pumpkin/white belly Ika laminate. It took some playing around to get the amount of glo I wanted because the pearl white is opaque, but, with 1/4 tsp. per cup, it's visible in the dark, but subtle. Just what I wanted for low light, night, or deeper fishing. I'm going to try it in my watermelon/red flake next, just to help make it more visible.

mark poulson Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I think my glo plastic is too bright, so I'll be cutting it in half, to see if a more subtle approach is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
