Thats by the pound.... lol. You do not have to buy it that way. We will have it packaged in smaller sizes in February. It will run maybe $15-$20. And you can mix it with other glow, to get a strong enough effect that will make a difference.


The offshore lures are loaded with it, thats why Jet Strike is so pricey. But to do smaller jigs.... it may cost you maybe about a buck a jig. Not too bad.

So this can be applied to the lead head how? By dipping and then baking on like a powder coat?
If so would just heating with a heat gun work opposed to an oven bake?

Can be done this way, or as a final coat of clear, depending on how you coat your jigs. The easiest way is to apply it as finishing coat, over top of whatever colors you choose.

Some of it is quick dry, some is not. As mentioned, the products like UV Blast are ok for a trip or two maybe. You will not get hurt by using it. The 1 thing I am not crazy about with the UV Blast formula is the smell. Seems to hang around for too long. Not a natural smell at all.
