H4H.... I may be a Lil harsh using Berkley alone here. I'm talking the big corporate companies in general, not necessarily Berkley alone.

Years back, Berkley made a trolling lure with a chip in it that attracted fish. It was by far an awesome lure and it worked as good in better than any other lure I used. After a year or two, they yanked the product because it looked bad on paper, not because of its performance. Some big wig I'm an office made the call to stop production because of a spread sheet, not because it didn't work.

This is the example I am attempting to make when these larger companies try to down play something they don't sell. Guys like yourself, my customers ..... know what's working, but this level of employee is not part of the decisions on what to make and not make. It sucks and I don't trust the process. I didn't mean it to sound like Berkley was a bad company. Hell.... they gave us Gulp!, one of the best products made. But a suit & tie sitting in his office calls the shots, not the reps on the water. So please excuse me if I made it sound like Berkley alone was my bitch.

Shoot me a PM. Curious which formula you used? The glow will matter in some cases and I have all that info stored away from the last few years . I have no doubt that your UV lures are gonna produce. And yes.... let's get out and fish and put it to the test. I am not claiming to be a better fisherman than anybody. I'm talking same tackle, same technique, 1 untreated and 1 treated. 99.9% of the time the UV product out fishes the non UV products. I watched rookies out fish me using this testing method. I only offer to do this because too many times we hear about something great, but nobody is willing to back it up. I'm confident enough to back it up after a few years of testing.

Grouper are UV junkies! I have several guys from Florida and Texas that use it down there so you should see a welcoming reception to your jigs in that area. I used a few boats as test boats too.... since we don't have that fishery up our way. Again.... it's gonna make a difference and the shops that take it on will be repeat buyers I'm sure. For some reason, seems that the snowy grouper respond to UV jigs and only UV for a few boats down there. We had a few members here get them using UV Spanko's.

I guess this is the year we see what the public thinks. Enough guys are using it now so it should be fun to see how it all goes.
