Thanks For Watching!! Sorry that my camera wasn't getting very good footage in the dark, in person they looked as bright as the thumbnail picture suggests..Time for a new camera perhaps!!

[@seanpeirce5507]

World's Worst Fishing what if you did the colors you want but then do a clear dip with the glow powder. Just a thought.

[@prospectoroutdoors]

Great video. I was always wondering how colors would turn out? I hope that you don’t mind me sharing my video on what I use the glow for. I use a bunch of it but it is worth the reward on the business end of the fishing pole. You have been officially invited to join me for an ice fishing trip BTW. 😊 Thanks for inspiring me over the years! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q568YY2FeauGo9U

[@333deathprone333]

You could make a dark colors bait and dip it in a strong glow powder mix to give it a glow coating

[@UncleKrusty68]

A glowing core shot is what I want for a Ned rig.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

You can do it! Ai core shot NED mold and get some of this stuff.

[@teenguyen2311]

I actually made some core shot glow in the dark senko worms. the outter layer is glow in the dark and the core is a bright orange color with some glitter and some glow in it. worked up great.

[@nikarey6487]

*It's great caught caught a brown trout on the first cast. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend if it was a little smaller it would be more effective for different species*

[@TheKlickitat]

I personally as a fisherman, would really love to see a video on the philosophy covering: colors, actions, flake size, and color, stiffness of the plastics, the when's and why's. Also color vs, action vs shape.

[@bayouburner281]

I’ve been using glow plastics since I was a kid. In my experience, it seems that they really shine on overcast days. Mister Twister glow Sassy Shads kept my line tight in my youth.

[@kennethearlwigglesworth6034]

I've been workin with glow in the dark powders for close to 3 years , we use several different colors of glow powders, your adventurous idea to use them baits are Awesome, keep experimenting, it's Awesome POSSUM

[@tomboybaits4905]

Do u make glow powder???

[@JacobSimpson]

That's awesome! I think something cool to do would be to do a capsule bait and do the clear glowing plastic on the outside then you can still have your nice colors on the inside! Can't wait to see what you do with the glow idea in the future!

[@drumavenger83]

"Clear dip" with the glow.... I need this.

Just tested the hobby lobby cheapo glow glitter in 5" dr and 3.5" open pour with white mica and a bit of pink color shift. They work amazingly well!

[@tightlinetactics5738]

Thank you for all the helpful videos you create, they have really been of use for me as I consider entering the plastics business. A question I have, I might have missed it looking through your videos, but how do I add scent to my plastics?

[@TheNeverendingProjectsList]

This is cool... I made a glow charger with UV leds for glow in the dark lures and they work great so I'll definitely have to give this stuff a try.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Yeah UV light is what I really need.

[@rev.gustavhautz5683]

Blood line baits where the blood lines are the glowing part of the bait

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Killer!

[@adamrewolinski1789]

Love that idea as well.

[@robertrenter5473]

I love the glow bloodline idea. I bright body, and/or belly color for lighted conditions, and a glow stripe for darker conditions with just a touch in the tail for visible movement would be awesome!

[@johnmyrick8741]

I am getting my first molds (both injection 3” grub and 5” es senko from Do-it) in the mail on Monday. Should I add colorant and glitter before or after heating the plastic? Does it matter? I have watched a ton of video’s and seen people do it both ways. Really loving your channel and can’t wait to start this new hobby while I’m stuck at home.

[@basscatlildave]

Another neat effect. You could try a glow in the dark inserted in a transparent swim bait.

[@luisfernandolujangiraldo4209]

thank you for your videos, i learn a lot from them. I would like to know what kind of oil do you use for the package of your lures, thank you so much, greetings from Medellín Colombia.

[@hughmanatee4854]

I wonder how a core shot would look with the color in the core really thick, and clear with glow powder on the outside. Maybe even glow powder and some flake of some sort. Glowing cores would also be interesting. Probably just the very ends glowing...hmmm. This is pretty cool stuff.

[@robertrenter5473]

I have used glow in the dark paddle tails for walleye fishing. But I don't like the drab white color normally associated with glow. I would like to see you do more experiments with this. I'd love to see a bright chartreuse, white, or even orange for the day/evening bite that could also glow for late night bite :)

[@judweaver3635]

I bet a glow powder "clear dip" would do well over colored baits. Likely have to go a bit darker due to the haziness of the glow liquid on the exterior.

[@docniemo4713]

Skin pour or a shad line with the glow powder would look great!

[@stevefisher2553]

haha thank ya!

[@ericstubbs438]

Neil Peart is a god!

[@adamrewolinski1789]

You will get a much better glow with a uv light. It would be cool to see if the other baits would show the glow more with the uv light instead. Glowing baits is very popular in the ice fishing world. Thank you for giving it a try.

[@michaelboettcher9384]

Rule of thumb is florescent colors will all glow when mixed with glow powder! Takes two tea spoons per cup! Order glow powder off net it's less expensive! Glowing a spot on a lure is more effective then glowing whole lure! Have 20 years experience with glow!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

thanks for the tips!! I have a lot to learn with this stuff but wanted to film my first trials with it.

[@gameopsdk]

Any recommendations on glow powder brands Michael? I keep watching this guy and am thinking about getting into it as a hobby.

[@michaelboettcher9384]

@@gameopsdk buy the cheapest glow powder possible you can find on the internet. You do not need 8 hour glow. Cheep glow is bright in seconds. 8 hour glow has to be exposed to light a long time. Cheep glow glows brighter and is always glowing and charging as long as light is available. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. In one second your cheep glow will get a ray of light at 186,000 miles per second. Sooo cool!

[@gameopsdk]

@@michaelboettcher9384 sorry, bad choice of words on my part. You said get it off the net it's less expensive. I should of clarified by asking if all glow powders are the same or should I be looking for the cheapest from bait building suppliers only?

[@michaelboettcher9384]

Educational inovations.com is a good place to buy glow pigment! The cheaper glow attracted fish better. 24 hour glow and 8 hour glow is more expensive and is not better to attract fish! Try both and you will see I am right!

[@ReelDealOutdoorsTV]

Maybe do some of the core shot senkos with the glow powder in the center, and a nice translucent color on the outside. That should glow and cast the color of the outside too

[@raywhite2696]

working with glow in the dark but my grown the dark is kind of a greenish really light what I do is I pour a little bit of regular color stuff in and then eject the glow in the dark and it actually close and it makes that color glow a little bit from the light

[@petaks01]

Interesting experiment, only used glow in the dark lures for vertical fishing Cod here in the Baltic Sea but I hope they make some difference on your side of the pond.

After ur done with the baits, what's in the container u put them in?

Hold those baits under a uv light and you will see them shine

[@timothyparrott2705]

Could you skin pour this or maybe even just clear dip with it so you could have your color of choice underneath for daytime and still have some glow effect for low light conditions as well?

[@ichabod13]

As well as the hobby lobby pigment is doing, curious if a cheaper glow in the dark powder from there could work too? Nice looking baits you made!

[@UncleGuido]

Have youtried making a standard colored bait then clear dipping it in plastic mixed up with UV pigment?

[@gregoryconductier1091]

Cool stuff! Have you try to light them up with a UV light. Different from a glow, but maybe are they fluorescing rather than glowing...?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

yeah I need to get a UV light for the next time I mess with these for sure

[@ClaytonDarwin]

How about a core with a lot of glow pigment, and the a clear side and pigmented side. Glowing core shot.

[@rural4174]

Would probably look cool using the marling baits octopus.

[@ethantupy4870]

You would definitely use glow stuff for ice fishing baits it’s a game changer

[@cody8754]

I use Bobby garland mo glo baby shad for crappie and they always seem to have a white or light yellow or green bottom with the darker colors on top so I think the lighter color holds the UV light better but illuminates somewhat through the darker colors. But they all seem to just be a straight color very little amount of glitter flakes. Try a lightly colored UV bottom with a very lightly shaded darker colored pigment on top with no glow powder and see if it shows through it

[@cody8754]

I would really love to see some more in depth experimentation with the glow powder

[@taylormarcel5074]

So cool

[@perry1134]

Two things. First, charge these with a blacklight, as it provides a wavelength of light much more readily absorbed by the pigment powder you're using. The color of the glow indicates what wavelength you have to exceed to get maximum glow, and purple is the highest frequency in the visible spectrum. The reason the colored baits didn't glow well is because you used colors that filter out the light wavelengths needed to charge the powder. You'll need to use fairly translucent colors of purple or blue to see colored glow of any kind. Once more, also use a blacklight, you'll see an insane difference. Two minutes with a blacklight will make that stuff glow as bright as your phone screen.

[@FCPFishing]

Thumbs up for the Rush shirt alone. The glow stuff is pretty cool.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

haha RUSH is magic!

[@tomboybaits4905]

What brand of glow powder are you using?

[@williamhunter278]

Wonder if it would do better with neon colors? Definitely something to try out and see since I use a lot of neon colors.

[@texasmadebarber4744]

Can you use regular injector what is difference?

[@captainscottlum2371]

You said you thought the pearl with twice the glow powder was the brightest but i wonder how that would compare with clear with twice the glow powder? I use glow soft baits a lot, so for me they're not at all a novelty color.

[@YAMMUZIK]

Try with some glow colors, might enhance the glow powder, experiment with one bait at a time, or one cup at time, you can add little by little till the perfect one! 🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻

[@devinjulius2740]

I have to get this powder. Question, how do you keep your cups clean? Do you use any special cleaning techniques?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

just 409 and paper towels

[@502deth]

so, i just got into doing this. (bait making in general) i got some of the lurecraft glow powder. i wanted to try it on some of the deeper stuff, thiknking they ould be highly visible in deep murky water. so, as such, i tried it on a crawfish hand pour. the color i used, of course, crawfish. its a pretty dark color. i used teh same measuring scoop you usd, one scoop to about 1/2 cup, and they actually glowed pretty good. they had a lot of color in. the powder did make them look lighter than just a std crawfish color, but they looked darker than your were, and they glowed quite well. im way too ignorant about all of this to know why mine worked better, mostly luck im sure.

[@502deth]

looking through the replies, i see uv light mentioned. i put mine in the sun, which worked very well, b ut the first test was in my basement where they are made, i held them up to the cf pigtail bulb and got the stated results. im fairly certain the cf bulbs dont give off excess uv.

[@edonwheels7396]

Have you tried it on the core worms?

[@tomjones4593]

[@CrazzyOntarian]

@@WorldsWorstFishing did you ever try this?

[@AllTheHobbies]

Any pigment or opaque additive is going to prevent the glow from being charged. Its not really that its not coming through the color its that the color wont let it charge in the first place. So if you do a core shot of glow the color wont let it charge. If you do a core shot of color and the out side is clear then you may get a colored effect as it glows through from the other side.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

yeah some core shot clear worms with glow cores is defintely coming soon!

[@bolak198]

UV light is the best way to charge glow in the dark.. just get a bulb for your shop light and bam long lasting supercharged glow. I use this method on hooks a lot.
