Question, Observation, and maybe a Suggestion.....I guess this is mainly for trollers, but maybe casters also....So I'm pretty sure more and more of us are into varying degrees of Glow on our gear, but how many of us are aware of the effective duration of that Glow after we've ' Charged' various pieces with glow lights? ..... The other night, after being overly impressed with some new pieces I'd just completed, I invited my wife to come downstairs, into a dark room, where I'd just laid out a few newly charged fishing trinkets.....I said what they were for, she said they were 'cute', and 'so how long will that glow last underwater?' ..... And come to think of it, I didn't really know for sure....I figured at least 5 to 10 minutes....So....so today I took some time to check about 8 different pieces out....some dodgers, some lures, some with tape, some paint, and some that came labelled 'glow'....My initial findings: .... some that said 'glow' didn't glow at all (or just a tiny part did), some customized paint pieces lasted 1/2 hour!, some glow tapes are way better than others, 10 to 20 mins. max...... and a couple of the store bought 'glow' pieces actually lasted 25 mins. in my dark room.....so there is a lot of variance out there, and it may be wise to check yours out before hitting the water.....I'm using a blue lite, UV Glow flashlite for charging, but small, only 4", with 9 leds.....any you guys using something different, more effective for duration??? Guluk....
