Will need to stop by the shop one day or run into you at one of the shows and brainstorm some ideas. Greatly appreciate you sharing info with us

Alex, Steve,
1st, I moved photos into albums on Photobucket, I will fix that, so yo ucna see them again, Sorry about that.

The main reason I started this UV kick was exactly this reason. We had been messing with it, along with OMT, ( who turned me onto the results) and after a few seasons, we started to see the imports coming over. They were nothing more than glow in the dark, but being sold as UV. Then... you add in the dealers who always want to jump on the latest thing, also selling the wrong items..... it was going to give the whole UV Glow thing a bad name and ruin it.

This is exactly why I went into it so deep last year on all of the forums. No doubt it works. Your good up to 650' on average. As humans, we can barely get a glimpse of it at dusk & dawn, when the sun is at that low angle. You will see a haze around the lure. Otherwise we need the help of lights.

Any questions... be happy to try and answer. Thanks for the input. Its exactly why I did it. Now,..... your not going to waste your hard earned money on marketing scams.
