I just read an article and part of it goes like this...
"Over 100 years ago, Russian and Nordic fishermen used to smoke spoons for pike and ice jigs for pannies to dull the finish. Their theory was that a matte finish lure appears to be of its original size, when a glow/glitter lure may be interpreted by fish as a larger one.
Interesting. And I guess it kind of makes sense. Personally, I have not been a big fan of glow jigs. I've done better with the ones that don't seem to light up the underwater world. Just doesn't seem natural. Any other thoughts?
