    I am just wonder how does everyone glow there ice fishing jigs. Is there a rule for how long to glow the jig so that it glows longer under that ice. Is there any special devices that you use to do so.

    Anyone use a UV flashlight? I thought I read somewhere that is the fastest way to flow them.

    Go to Walmart and buy a cheap flash attachment.

    Your plastics and jigs will charge better and faster if they are kept warm…as in body temperature warm. Try putting the plastic packages inside a shirt pocket along with a small zip lock holding a few of your pet jigs.

    The uv lights get them the brightest-fastest in my experiences. Rapala has a lanyard glow box that works really well. Put the jig or spoon in the box, push the button and it glows both sides. CJ&S has or had a key chain one. If you get that one, make sure you choose the uv bulb over the other options. Never messed with the camera flash, so I can’t say anything good or bad for that option.
