Thanks For Watching!! Sorry that my camera wasn't getting very good footage in the dark, in person they looked as bright as the thumbnail picture suggests..Time for a new camera perhaps!!
Great video. I was always wondering how colors would turn out? I hope that you don’t mind me sharing my video on what I use the glow for. I use a bunch of it but it is worth the reward on the business end of the fishing pole. You have been officially invited to join me for an ice fishing trip BTW. 😊 Thanks for inspiring me over the years! ua-cam.com/video/umY0ZODFSms/v-deo.html
I actually made some core shot glow in the dark senko worms. the outter layer is glow in the dark and the core is a bright orange color with some glitter and some glow in it. worked up great.
*It's great caught caught a brown trout on the first cast. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend if it was a little smaller it would be more effective for different species*
I personally as a fisherman, would really love to see a video on the philosophy covering: colors, actions, flake size, and color, stiffness of the plastics, the when's and why's. Also color vs, action vs shape.
I’ve been using glow plastics since I was a kid. In my experience, it seems that they really shine on overcast days. Mister Twister glow Sassy Shads kept my line tight in my youth.
I've been workin with glow in the dark powders for close to 3 years , we use several different colors of glow powders, your adventurous idea to use them baits are Awesome, keep experimenting, it's Awesome POSSUM
That's awesome! I think something cool to do would be to do a capsule bait and do the clear glowing plastic on the outside then you can still have your nice colors on the inside! Can't wait to see what you do with the glow idea in the future!
I love the glow bloodline idea. I bright body, and/or belly color for lighted conditions, and a glow stripe for darker conditions with just a touch in the tail for visible movement would be awesome!
I have used glow in the dark paddle tails for walleye fishing. But I don't like the drab white color normally associated with glow. I would like to see you do more experiments with this. I'd love to see a bright chartreuse, white, or even orange for the day/evening bite that could also glow for late night bite :)
You will get a much better glow with a uv light. It would be cool to see if the other baits would show the glow more with the uv light instead. Glowing baits is very popular in the ice fishing world. Thank you for giving it a try.
I am getting my first molds (both injection 3” grub and 5” es senko from Do-it) in the mail on Monday. Should I add colorant and glitter before or after heating the plastic? Does it matter? I have watched a ton of video’s and seen people do it both ways. Really loving your channel and can’t wait to start this new hobby while I’m stuck at home.
Rule of thumb is florescent colors will all glow when mixed with glow powder! Takes two tea spoons per cup! Order glow powder off net it's less expensive! Glowing a spot on a lure is more effective then glowing whole lure! Have 20 years experience with glow!
@@gameopsdk buy the cheapest glow powder possible you can find on the internet. You do not need 8 hour glow. Cheep glow is bright in seconds. 8 hour glow has to be exposed to light a long time. Cheep glow glows brighter and is always glowing and charging as long as light is available. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. In one second your cheep glow will get a ray of light at 186,000 miles per second. Sooo cool!
@@michaelboettcher9384 sorry, bad choice of words on my part. You said get it off the net it's less expensive. I should of clarified by asking if all glow powders are the same or should I be looking for the cheapest from bait building suppliers only?
Educational inovations.com is a good place to buy glow pigment! The cheaper glow attracted fish better. 24 hour glow and 8 hour glow is more expensive and is not better to attract fish! Try both and you will see I am right!
I bet a glow powder "clear dip" would do well over colored baits. Likely have to go a bit darker due to the haziness of the glow liquid on the exterior.
Thank you for all the helpful videos you create, they have really been of use for me as I consider entering the plastics business. A question I have, I might have missed it looking through your videos, but how do I add scent to my plastics?
Yep that was what I was lacking...but I think they will get attention just from a decent flashlight. I definitely have much more to learn about it...first timer over here haha
@@WorldsWorstFishing You don't need a UV light, just take them out in the Florida sun for a bit then bring them in a dark room. They will shine like new money.
I wonder how a core shot would look with the color in the core really thick, and clear with glow powder on the outside. Maybe even glow powder and some flake of some sort. Glowing cores would also be interesting. Probably just the very ends glowing...hmmm. This is pretty cool stuff.
Two things. First, charge these with a blacklight, as it provides a wavelength of light much more readily absorbed by the pigment powder you're using. The color of the glow indicates what wavelength you have to exceed to get maximum glow, and purple is the highest frequency in the visible spectrum. The reason the colored baits didn't glow well is because you used colors that filter out the light wavelengths needed to charge the powder. You'll need to use fairly translucent colors of purple or blue to see colored glow of any kind. Once more, also use a blacklight, you'll see an insane difference. Two minutes with a blacklight will make that stuff glow as bright as your phone screen.
You need to do a glow squid! You got a ton of guys over on the east coast that use that for night deep off shore! Great content man keep coming up with fun new ideas!
Any pigment or opaque additive is going to prevent the glow from being charged. Its not really that its not coming through the color its that the color wont let it charge in the first place. So if you do a core shot of glow the color wont let it charge. If you do a core shot of color and the out side is clear then you may get a colored effect as it glows through from the other side.
UV light is the best way to charge glow in the dark.. just get a bulb for your shop light and bam long lasting supercharged glow. I use this method on hooks a lot.
You said you thought the pearl with twice the glow powder was the brightest but i wonder how that would compare with clear with twice the glow powder? I use glow soft baits a lot, so for me they're not at all a novelty color.
I use Bobby garland mo glo baby shad for crappie and they always seem to have a white or light yellow or green bottom with the darker colors on top so I think the lighter color holds the UV light better but illuminates somewhat through the darker colors. But they all seem to just be a straight color very little amount of glitter flakes. Try a lightly colored UV bottom with a very lightly shaded darker colored pigment on top with no glow powder and see if it shows through it
man I want to...just only so many hours in a day...ive got some big things coming soon sponsorship-wise and I just cant do every idea I have right now...but I want to!
Try with some glow colors, might enhance the glow powder, experiment with one bait at a time, or one cup at time, you can add little by little till the perfect one! 🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻
Nice try Chris!... though we knew all glow softbaits in the market do not contain any pigment ... Your remark about a glow tail on a swimbait is a sure thing!.... why don't you try a glow tail and a glow blood line on a swimbait? :) Just a suggestion...
Could you skin pour this or maybe even just clear dip with it so you could have your color of choice underneath for daytime and still have some glow effect for low light conditions as well?
this is 3 in a row... I am putting on my tinfoil hat now. I got mine yesterday and am making ice fishing lures. Next video if you go to a paint store and pick up a color wheel to figure out contrasting and complimentary colors I am wrapping my whole head.
Glow in the dark is totally different from UV colors if you take UV by itself Under a docks Or in shadows color. Lure works sells UV additive by itself which is totally different then glow in the dark u should see what uv does to a swimbait in low light
Maybe do some of the core shot senkos with the glow powder in the center, and a nice translucent color on the outside. That should glow and cast the color of the outside too
so, i just got into doing this. (bait making in general) i got some of the lurecraft glow powder. i wanted to try it on some of the deeper stuff, thiknking they ould be highly visible in deep murky water. so, as such, i tried it on a crawfish hand pour. the color i used, of course, crawfish. its a pretty dark color. i used teh same measuring scoop you usd, one scoop to about 1/2 cup, and they actually glowed pretty good. they had a lot of color in. the powder did make them look lighter than just a std crawfish color, but they looked darker than your were, and they glowed quite well. im way too ignorant about all of this to know why mine worked better, mostly luck im sure.
looking through the replies, i see uv light mentioned. i put mine in the sun, which worked very well, b ut the first test was in my basement where they are made, i held them up to the cf pigtail bulb and got the stated results. im fairly certain the cf bulbs dont give off excess uv.
Glow colors (UV colors) fish can see as color, opaque colors fish can only see black to gray, to white and shades of! You want fish to perceive your lure in a positive way! You don't bite into a red apple thinking it will taste like a orange, orange!
Hey just so you know I use something called glow powder you can look it up I got a pretty big bag of it for like 10$ and I have used it when I made baits hopefully you see this because I think this would be cool to do again but I don’t want you to lose money
working with glow in the dark but my grown the dark is kind of a greenish really light what I do is I pour a little bit of regular color stuff in and then eject the glow in the dark and it actually close and it makes that color glow a little bit from the light
Interesting experiment, only used glow in the dark lures for vertical fishing Cod here in the Baltic Sea but I hope they make some difference on your side of the pond.
Nice I have some glow chartreuse I just haven't found a want to use it yet buuuut I might just have to try it on some tails or something....another great video bud thanks again
Yeah I'm still a total noob at glow stuff..this was my first time really messing with it...I think a glow tail on a fluke or something at night would be irresistible haha.
@@WorldsWorstFishing that sounds like a good place for some glowstix (glow plastix) lol and I have a boot mold for my shad swimmer I got from josh that at dark for some speckled trout or even bass 🤔

World's Worst Fishing what if you did the colors you want but then do a clear dip with the glow powder. Just a thought.

You could make a dark colors bait and dip it in a strong glow powder mix to give it a glow coating
A glowing core shot is what I want for a Ned rig.
You can do it! Ai core shot NED mold and get some of this stuff.

Just tested the hobby lobby cheapo glow glitter in 5" dr and 3.5" open pour with white mica and a bit of pink color shift. They work amazingly well!
"Clear dip" with the glow.... I need this.
Blood line baits where the blood lines are the glowing part of the bait
Killer!

Yep that was what I was lacking...but I think they will get attention just from a decent flashlight. I definitely have much more to learn about it...first timer over here haha
@@WorldsWorstFishing Plus one for the UV Light to charge the GLOW !!!
I had the same problem. I picked up a uv flashlight & the difference was huge. It takes far less time to charge them as well.
@@WorldsWorstFishing You don't need a UV light, just take them out in the Florida sun for a bit then bring them in a dark room. They will shine like new money.

Another neat effect. You could try a glow in the dark inserted in a transparent swim bait.
Nice video. I started playing the glow powder last week. It worked well with chartreuse
Nice... I still have lots to learn with this stuff.
Any pigment or opaque additive is going to prevent the glow from being charged. Its not really that its not coming through the color its that the color wont let it charge in the first place. So if you do a core shot of glow the color wont let it charge. If you do a core shot of color and the out side is clear then you may get a colored effect as it glows through from the other side.
yeah some core shot clear worms with glow cores is defintely coming soon!
This is cool... I made a glow charger with UV leds for glow in the dark lures and they work great so I'll definitely have to give this stuff a try.
Yeah UV light is what I really need.
UV light is the best way to charge glow in the dark.. just get a bulb for your shop light and bam long lasting supercharged glow. I use this method on hooks a lot.
What about making a regular bait then ‘clear dip’ it in glow
Yeah I want to try that as well!

@@WorldsWorstFishing completely understand man. Keep up the good work
I wonder if you used a core shot worm mold with the clearer glow on the outside and a watermelon core would turn out? Cool video bud thanks.
Skin pour or a shad line with the glow powder would look great!
hey clear dip in glow plastic. and try blending with glow and non glow. also try a black light.
Try with some glow colors, might enhance the glow powder, experiment with one bait at a time, or one cup at time, you can add little by little till the perfect one! 🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻
Good to know thanks I was wondering the effects of the glow powder great job ..again 👍
Its actually really bright in person..lasts a good 5 minutes or so.
I pouring glowing powder with chartreuse and green light colors, this colors works fine, not like to me black colors
Nice try Chris!... though we knew all glow softbaits in the market do not contain any pigment ...
Your remark about a glow tail on a swimbait is a sure thing!.... why don't you try a glow tail and a glow blood line on a swimbait? :)
Just a suggestion...
Use a black light when recording and then you will be able to see it on camera. 👍🏻
I wonder how it would look with silver or hologram reflective flakes?
Could you skin pour this or maybe even just clear dip with it so you could have your color of choice underneath for daytime and still have some glow effect for low light conditions as well?
Wonder how good those are night fishing 🤔
Glow blood line, clear bottom with fine silver flake, iridescent blue/green top with some blue glow powder - just an idea...
Big glow tubes are awesome for Lakers just a suggestion.

hahahaha...well....great minds think alike!
Good first try... I think there are some possibilities to explore. One you mentioned, your idea for use as a "glow tail" is dead-on.
The knife drum roll sounds cool!
haha well thanks
I would use the glow in the dark powder to make a bunch of bloodlines and eyes maybe some core shots.
Hobby lobby has some glow n the dark glitter for cheap. I bought a bunch but haven't tested.

Use a UV torch, makes them glow longer and glow faster. and dont add glitter or colouring to make glowing lures, it screws the glow up...

just 409 and paper towels

As well as the hobby lobby pigment is doing, curious if a cheaper glow in the dark powder from there could work too? Nice looking baits you made!
Shooting or pouring swimbaits with just the clear or the clear-white pearl and then painting just small areas w/o glow might be cool?
Is this the kind of glow powder that needs to be charged with a black light or special UV light? Might charge better than a shop light.
Make your colored lures then dip the baits into the glow plastic as a shell
What about a clear dip with the glow plastic.
Can you use regular injector what is difference?
Did you ever try to clear dip with the glow powder?
Make a glowing color shift swim bait
Cool stuff! Have you try to light them up with a UV light. Different from a glow, but maybe are they fluorescing rather than glowing...?
yeah I need to get a UV light for the next time I mess with these for sure
Wonder what a glow in the dark core shot would look like?
These are awesome!
I wish my camera didnt suck so yall could see how bright they really were...It's too bad they dont glow better when you add color to them though.

So out of all these videos. Which colors catch you the most fish?
How made this gray blocks?
Have you tried it on the core worms?
What brand of glow powder are you using?
So cool
did you try to laminate? i wonder what it would look like with a dark side and a glow side
