Time to get those UV jigs ready!!!

[Capt. Lou]

UV like flo products on any given day may excel over standard lure colors, however that being said I would certainly like to fish these products side by side on standard jig use. Whic I will do this season. I have already used them offshore but not to the degree that I can state they r the ticket.
I believe fish like fluke or stripers that r basically fished in shallow water @ slow speeds may be induced to hit a brighter lure sans a baitfish color but under certain conditions, I personally never have done much better on glo products in the past. This covers both salt & fresh applications!
I fully realize their is a differance in how the prouct generates a glow so to speak but Im also a firm beiliever in proper lure presentation or fresh bait applications as being a key ingrdient for many species.
Offshore at 7+ knots or burning a popper to tuna, color may be key on occasion however on other days its a bait game!
Taking several dozen big eyes on lures several record size Ive felt the attraction of the lure was in how it ran thru the pattern not on visibilty per se.
Most of my success was keyed in on a lure that would churn up the suds & imitate a school or a fish fleeing at flank speed!
Im more inclined to lend a certain amount of credance to a bait skirts color since they r generally dragged at slower RPM'S.
Im also covinced the flash & swim abiltiy of a trolled natural bait sans the skirt is key.
In all cases ya gotta be on the fish to illicit strikes !!! The proof will certainly be in the pudding as they say. More guys fishing these products will fast prive their worth.
It would be nice to say this lure has earned a place on my boat!

Did some independent field testing of UV coated jigs including this "Bluerunner" (UV coated over Pearl white with Bright Blue glow)to emulate the bait fish here in FLA ( New tackle shop believers were made of the product). Dropped this jig down into 100+ ft depths, tipped with a glow soft plastic lure being field tested for another lure maker and nailed some nice sized Red Groupers. Tried some standard colored jig heads but the UV coated jig produced more, so there seems to be validity to the claims. Just my .02
