getting those jigs to glow...

[perchnut]

Ive heard of a couple of ways to get those glow type jigs glowing, but what is best?  Ive never done this with my jigs, but this off season, i did buy a few(ok, maybe more than a few) jigs with some glow on them....

I bought one of the pen lights that are made for glow jigs.  Takes all of 3 seconds to get that thing glowing.

The best thing to use is an old camera flash.  Hit it 2 or 3 times with that and it will glow for a long time.  It also depends on the glow paint some glow longer than others.

ditto on the camera flash.  The gander mtn. near me had used ones for sale and i love it.  you can prob find them on ebay.

I picked up a key chain at a convenience store for a couple bucks I think that has a flash light bulb just like those 10$ taszer lights like Lindy sells.  put it on my coat zipper  4 years ago though i broke the chain and now it rides in my coat pocket.  Still works and gets a good glow from my jigs

you can pick one up at most sporting good stores.  i think around 10-12 bucks.  glows them up real good. it recharges its self in seconds.

I use one of those HT or Lazer glow lights that you can clip onto your jacket or wherever. O r ill use the flash from my Digital Camera

I bought a pole that had an LED light on it and that works pretty good...

[iceman1]

I've been using one of those HT lazer lights and it has worked great for a couple of years know.

think ill try the little key chain lite i was using my 12 volt 2 million candle power spot light lol thought the small light was a gimmick thanks for the info

The flash will give you the best glow, but it it bigger and bulkier then the keychain.  I opted for the key chain and seem to replace it every season.

Ditto IceJunky, keychain light is the way to go. Any light will make it glow...I picked up this one:

I also use one of those keychain lights. I bought a LED flexlight for the Vex this year and I assume that will do most of my glow charging from here on out.

I was thinking about picking up one of those lights for the Vexilar...Anything you don't like about it?

[Skipper]

The way they tell you to install it is to connect alligator clips to your charging posts on the Ultra Pack. No switch or anything

I did some "creative" wiring so it wasn't so awkward, but I wish they put a switch on the light. Otherwise, it is a nice product.

any small light will do it

Pretty much...

I have a small keychain light that I use. It is an led, it  is giving off light in the ultraviolet spectrum. It seems to keep my jigs brighter longer than a normal led.

I also have on of those small Coast LED lights on my keychain..Think I paid around $20 for it  8)
