I know the answer they will come back with..... that light is visible deeper than 250' . Yes.... to certain types of eyes, not human eyes and eyes similar to human eyes that CAN NOT SEE UV. Send a diver down to a certain depth and ask them what they see..... aside from darkness.
I have done plenty of research over the last 3 or 4 years, as well as testing. My findings.... the research is mostly speculation. The testing is cold hard results.
I have no problem engaging any sales rep that makes the claim that saltwater fish cant see UV. Mostly because half the species would not survive if they relied only on scent.
I had 3 brands send me UV lures that were not UV, they were glow and fluorescent. This is why I started this whole UV thread..... because the other 99% of the shops are trusting these guys and selling a product that is not what it says it is. The end result is fishermen decide UV does not work and its all because they were not using it from the start.
Go look up Pakula Lures. This guy is the master at UV, Fluorescence and Glow! His lures are basic in shape & design, bit his UV is DEADLY around the WORLD, not just here in The NE, where a select few own the local forums and sell their brands.
I have helped many members buy products from other dealers....
