You could always strap it to your hat and use it as a head lamp if it fails :rofl:

Yer but it flashes and in my experience strobe lights dont help for much but keeping that smile on your face at 3am

Well there you go the options are limitless sounds like i might get one just to try out the options
It may even set of the epilepsy in barra and make them a scooping option

Im off to get one on monday :rofl:

seen one the other day, reckon its much too bright for clear water, might work in dirty stuff where the glow is reduced to a glimmer

the missus bought a heap of these of the internet about 6 months ago she has used them at night during the day and no success at all just a rip off i think ,they no good in salt water the led relys on water to activate it some how the water enters the the lure and turns the led on once the water is in there i cant get out , hence all the electronics rust salt water and electronics dont mix
if you want to put a light on your lure just go buy one of those cylume tubes and stick that too your lure

They must work if the guy who promotes them and sells them says he lost a big fish on one!! :bonk:

That was a question that I was going to ask. Has any one actually done any good for barra on the glow in the dark lures or rubbers that you have to hold your torch on?

I have had good success in deep water on goldies and jew but barra just seem to ignor them or at least when I have used them.Whats everyones thoughts?

Cant comment on whether barra are attracted to glowing bait/lures or not but I tried the glow beads on goldies (shallower type water on a paternoster rig) and anything else that was down there for zilch. As soon as I took the glow beads off I started getting bites.

I've been catching all my culvett barra on glowing DOA's

yeah i used to use the glow in the dark DOAs all the time ........... quite a while ago down the vic river had a real good session at night useing them a large glow ball come off the lure as a barra hit it must have been the air bubbles and percussion in the water looked pretty amazing when they boofed the DOA was more exciting watching them bit it that catch it

Yeah just bought a new batch 1/2 an hour ago
They've been hard to get for a while

Cheers for the info. Just curious. When you are using the glow in the dark lures did you test to see if any thing else was getting hit. I .e lures that dont glow. Do you reckon that they make a definate difference for the better or was it just one of those bites that they would have eatin anything that moved? Clean or dirty water? Assumed that dirty water they maybe affective but abit dubious about clear. Also thought they may work around the coast as the squid that they eat have bioluminescents and the glow in the dark lures might imitate it. What do you think?

In The 97 Classic halco bought out a batch of bibs for the 125scorpion that glowed.

We used them beside standard scorpions &they where about the same strike rate.

We did get runner up mixed team that year so maybe they helped.

Halco where not convinced though & did not go into production.

I have since tried other glowing lures & I did not find them any better than standard hardbodied ones. :cheers:
