best glow glow jigs

What brand do you feel has the longest lasting glow, or is it a wash being about the same? Any stand outs? :icefish:

I got some glow from TNT last year (finally). When charged I could see the greenish glow in regular light.

Be advised they can get a backed up during the season. Best to order well off season so you get 'em by the time you want 'em.
To fish or not to fish? That's a stupid question!

Most seam about the same to me.  I have notice as the lure gets older the glow works less and less.  I just ordered some glow power to mix into a clear coat.  I am going to paint it on some of my favorite jigs that are no longer made.  Hopefully this will bring them back to where they were.  I will let you guys know it turns out after testing.

the wave length of the light source matters. 360nm is ideal. colors make a big difference on how well they hold and how bright they are while charged.
i like kodiak, fiska and bentley.

I used some of this paint last year and found the glow lasts longer than any jig I have. You have to put a couple coats but it is kinda thick so I just dip it in a couple times. This way you can turn any of your jigs into glow jigs. Clean them good and dip it, worked good for me.
