there was a guy on the site that was making some cool ones on a 3d printer. I can't find the thread for that one though. Maybe he'll chime in sometime. I made one pretty easy though. As 3300 posted, get a uv light strip and glue it to the inside of a cup. Pretty easy. I used one of those cigarette butt cups you can buy at the dollar stores. I drilled out the top hole a little bigger so my jig doesn't get caught, added a uv light strip and a toggle switch. After getting the stuff it took me about an hour to put it all together and that was because I had to wait for the glue to dry. I'm pretty sure you can get light strips with self adhesive backing on it which is the way to go if you can find it.

Johnsonarcher is the guy that makes them. ;)
-
I bought a couple from him. Great product. He has a facebook page Ice Jager Customs. Send him a message on there he'll get right back to you
-
I've never seen this idea. I think I may agree with Gator, this is a great idea.
Here's the link to the page..

Maybe it's just me but he's pretty hard to get ahold of - Sent him an email, he replied verifying my address for PayPal and that's the last I've heard from him. Which is too bad - because I really like the product.

I got a hold of him through his Facebook page. He was quick to respond. He did mention that he doesn't check this site much during the summer.
-
you might want a second one when you see how good they are Fantastic Build
-
He mentioned that he is traveling this week, so it will be a week before he can get back to folks. He was responding pretty quick to inquiries though.
Anyone know what he charges for the cups? Pretty cool setup.
-
Yes I'm still selling them. The cost is 18$ and 6.95$ priority mail shipping. I would send a PayPal invoice to this or whatever other email address you wanted.
You're talking the mount for the pro/ultra pack?
Thanks,
Ice Jäger Custom Icefishing Equipment
That's what I was told via email.
-
So does anyone have his email? I wouldn't mind picking up one, but don't have face book and refuse to do face book.
-
i too don't do facebook and had a friend contact him and he said he had been traveling as someone said earlier. i too would like his e mail to contact him.
-
Since we're talking about glow cups, if anyone wants a lure lightning let me know. I tried one of those POS and it's the most impractical thing to use.

You don't have to join Facebook, like Facebook or anything Facebook. But you can still go to his page and see his pictures and videos. You don't need to join anything to see what he's doing.

Yes, but you can't message him on Facebook unless you have face book. Hence why I asked for the email. Cup looks nice. Does anyone know if he makes a "deeper" cup? Looked like the one in the video was fairly shallow.

I had 2 people PM me about this cup.
Yes it is homemade. here is a list of stuff you need to make it.
1. Small strip of LED lights ( can get off eBay)
2. Plastic cup that fits in vex cup holder
3. Vexilar cup holder
4. Ends to plug onto or into your battery
(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/agronomist_at_IA/BD93CBC8-E390-4269-815E-ECDDC5A74282_zps4akmkwon.jpg)
Take and notice the vex cup has a hole in the bottom already. Place the cup in and drill the hole in the bottom of the cup to match up with the vexilar cup holder hole.
(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/agronomist_at_IA/62915621-AF93-46A4-9DE3-3147CA7B57E5_zpsfrx49pry.jpg)
Cut the cup off level with the cup holder, or to the height/depth of cup so you can "dip" the largest size lure you will use and be able to submerse it in the lighted area of cup. For me level with the vex cup holder allowed me to dip my glow spoons for walleye completely.
(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/agronomist_at_IA/F9760B64-F10E-4EBE-918A-4A4A6426D71E_zpsxbnc7say.jpg)
Once you have it cut to size wrap the LED strip inside the cup and run the wire for it out of the bottom.
(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/agronomist_at_IA/5DAA3109-8CE3-4977-BF36-ABDD11CC82E5_zpsg3xhgoq9.jpg)
Once you've ran/wrapped the LED lights in the cup cut the wires to desired length put on the ends/plug for your battery power. I put a plug on that plugs into where the flex light on my FL20 plugs into for power.
(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/agronomist_at_IA/B1844464-8DB1-4564-A2D6-31BDABC15E17_zps0qvwf9bo.jpg)
Little black tape to hold the wires and your good to go.
One thing another member commented on was that he put a 2nd clear plastic cup inside the glow cup so that when he dipped his glow spoon the water wouldn't drip on the lights & it would also keep the hooks from the spoon hooking onto the LED light strip. Also some members had commented on using LED lights with a specific wavelength or something. Not sure what I have for LEDs on that but they seem to work just fine.
I've used the cup and it works really good.
-
I got the same one made by Ice Jager. Used it on my trip to VT and it works GREAT! Check the vid below, and the immediate results after charging for just a few seconds..

Has anyone heard anything from the maker of GloCup? I did the facebook message and email last week, but haven't gotten any response.
-
Notta thing here, I'm thinking of making one myself I guess, I've got some time yet - but I'm an impatient person. :)
-
Would this be the proper light strip to use? I notice some have only 14 lights in their cup and some have 80 or 90. Do you really need that many?

that'll work. Get that, a plastic cup and some clips for the battery and you're good to go.

When I get home I'll count/see how much strip was needed to cover the cup. I know the huge roll I bought about 90% of it I didn't need. The more LED bulbs the more light and easy to charge it. 👍
-
There is a 12" (15 led) strip inside this one I made for my Bayrunner... If I remember correctly it was a plastic spice jar before it became a dip cup, my PKs never shined so bright.

More LEDs = more battery usage..
Some take more than others, with these hooked up with my Vexilar running I get just over 8 hours.. It normally runs over 20 hours.. There are 45 LEDs total there..

Another thing to consider, those UV LEDs are brighter than you might think, the most of the useful wavelength of UV can't be seen with our eyes.. I would think 9 LEDs would light up a lure about the same as 90...
Another thing to consider, if you are using true UV LEDs, UV is not good for your eyes..
Although I don't have a clue how much of that wavelength makes it out of the cup.. Another thing I just thought of is I wonder if some plastics will fail prematurely due to the UV breaking it down..
I've been thinking about making one though myself..
Just thinking out loud with you all here...
<°)))>{
-

that's a fact. UV light is a contributer to macular degeneration. It's a good thing to turn the glocup on for a minute to charge your lure but don't use it as a main light source.
I have a rocker switch on mine to turn it on and off, it really doesn't use any juice at all cuz I only use it from time to time so eating up a abattery isn't much of a concern.
-
Led's don't use much juice anyways. I had a vex battery hooked to two strips of led's in my shack and fished through the the night. Forgot to unplug them from the battery when I tore down. The next weekend I took my fipover shack out put it up and the LED lights were still on and running. So I'm not to concerned about the juice they use because it is pretty minimal.
-
anybody heard from the guy at glo cup. i have sent him a few e mails and no response. i wonder what s up with that?

He probably doesnt monitor it very close, business most likely dies off in the warmer months.

Here may be another option if some of you are having trouble reaching the guy who makes the Glo Cup. This guy makes them to attach right to your Flasher. He has a website with videos of the unit. I think the cost is $39. They can mount to either the Vexilar or the Marcum/Hummingbird units. Pretty compact unit and can operate with your foot - watch the videos if you want. I saw it in a Dave Gentz video, asked who the vendor was and this is the link.

That's incredibly over priced in my opinion for basically just a UV light that sits on your flasher
-
I think I saw these at Cabelas last year for $15, the "Rapala Mini Charge 'n Glow". I wasnt sold on lights until I used my Northland UV flashlight squid fishing this summer, but the Rapala one uses a AAA battery versus running off the flasher battery and is pocket portable.
-

Yah, that's what I thought too, but thought that I would put it out there to the guys who are trying to find the Glo Cup unit. That guy is charging $35+ for a PVC unit with LED's in it. I will go with the UV tracking flashlight option.
-
Not sure what's going on with the glow cups. I sent him a message on his facebook page and had my cups (bought a couple for friends) within a week.. If you look in the equipment section I posted pics of it under my Genz Box Mods thread. I'd suggest hitting him up on facebook. Ice Jager Customs is his page. Hope this helps

How long ago was this though?

How long ago was this though?
The end of August
-
I sent a facebook message and email last week and havent heard anything. leaning towards the rapala mini case now.
-
Haven't heard from him either.
also if someone wants a lure lighting I will part with mine for a reasonable price.
-
I got his phone # if he hasn't popped in in a week or two I'll give him a call oh it's worth waiting for
-
thanks old goat that would be good.
-
I'm guessing he isn't getting rich off these, just trying to share a great setup..
Dude might be duck hunting, or who knows...
<°)))>{
-
called josh his answer box is full
-
i don't facebook but somebody that does can you check and see if he is accepting orders on his facebook page. thanks
-
I always just used a flashlight, but after a little reading I take it UV lights charge glow jigs better than your typical led flashlight? ???

They make UV flashlights just for charging glow paint..

yep i bought one of the venom uv lights and they rock. i was wanting to try one of these too. might just make my own as a few have made their own. like the idea of making my own stuff. made a bunch of ice picks a few years ago and when i see people one the ice now without them i give them a set.
-
If the object is to create a light for charging glow-in-the-dark lures, couldn't you create a cup lined with a reflective foil and use a LED flashlight to do the same thing?
Line a cup with aluminum or some metallic mylar foil (for a mirrored effect) and create a lid that could fit over a pocket LED flashlight to allow the light to shine directly into the cup under the cover.
Just an idea off the top of my head....
-
Got a response today and got one coming in the mail......come on ice!

good news
-
Got mine ordered too - and on the way! YAY - lol - was about to make my own or buy another.
-
Got my cup in the mail today. Kinda cool having a computer just print something. Looks like a winner. I will say the cup is a little deeper then it looks like in the pick. He's got a nice product here at a reasonable price point too. 👍 love how he made the clip too!

Guy on facebook selling them for $20 the lure companies name is: tnt jigs ... logos is a tnt jigs then a shark below shark it says fishing with dynamite..

hey joe Kinda want to order some tung. panfish jigs. are you still moving them for $1.50 yet.
-
I just ordered some from him a few weeks ago - $1.00 to a $1.50 depending on weight (want to say 4mm and up is $1.50, but could be 5mm) :)
-
Sorry, I haven't been around a lot lately. You can email me directly and I can send you an invoice straight from Paypal to your email.
I currently have four mounts available for my GloCups. A flush Mount, Vex Ultra/Pro pack mount, Marcum Mount, and a Hummingbird mount. I kind of got into trouble for avertising too much through the forum so if you would like any other information just send me an email or reach me on FB @icejagercustom.
Thanks,
Josh

Yes, but you can't message him on Facebook unless you have face book. Hence why I asked for the email. Cup looks nice. Does anyone know if he makes a "deeper" cup? Looked like the one in the video was fairly shallow.
My GloCup is 25mm deep. I am currently working on a dual light version with White and UV LEDs that is 35mm deep. I'm not sure when or if that will make it out to the world though. I am making it to test the idea that combination of white/UV charge faster and for longer (I don't think it will) than UV only.
I also am working on a GloWell that is twice the size of my GloCup for wiring into sleds and for use by multiple people at the same time in case you want to put it between 2-3 people in a flip over or something like that.
Thanks,
Josh
-
got my glo cup a few weeks ago and its awesome. i too like how it clips into place. great product at a great price.
-
I caught my very first burbot on Thursday, using a PK Panic lure ( red dot glow), loaded with nightcrawler, and charged up by my glo-cup. It was glowing like the full moon, and a 23-incher couldn't resist! Having the glo-cup ready at a moments notice is really nice. It's attached to my Marcum, and I can switch the glo-cup on as needed, and be fishing again. I like that better than wondering where i just dropped my charging light.
Thanks, Josh, for your glo-cup!!!
