Anyone Interested in Tying Glow Flies?

[Skip48]

I have been making glow jigs and flies for about 10 years and have decided to shaw this if there is interest. I am already sharing this with a bunch of jig tiers, but want to see if any of you wan to know. See pictures below....Also these pictures were taken just by holding the glowing bait under my tying table without turning out the overhead light.

Some 1/32 Oz jigs...


And a fly I tied years back, just for ideas.

Not Glowing...

I have been using glow material for years. At one time all you could get was a paint from Herters. Much more variety in materials today.

I have some stuff kind of like flashabou, made by Kreinik, that I have meant to use for years, maybe this will get me to use it.

I have glow beads and nail polish, just haven't got around to using them.

This I think would be way more bright and glow longer.

I remember that Herters glow paint. It smelled like rotten eggs.
As a kid, I painted the stripes of a football with it. Activated it with a flashlight, fun playing catch in the dark.
