Faca, I use glow in the dark beads and I mostly fish for catfish(I am in Iowa). I honestly beleive it really helps. I have read everything I could find on fishing with illumination and glow lures. What will work in reverse is something that is TOO bright. It will repel many fish. A hang over the side light is supposed to attract bait fish. The new glow lures that is charged by a light source are supposed to work pretty good, and they hold a "charge" much longer now because of new materials.The say you should charge these with a very bright charge, like a photo-type light blast. There is one such light flasher on the market for charging glow lures. I fish in stained water and night fish. I really beleive it helps. I bought a good sized bag of mixed colored plastic glow beads at WalMart in the hobby/craft dept. for almost nothing.

That must mean it would work really well there, huh?

honestly i dont think it makes any difference what you use, its all about how you feel about what your using ( confidence in what your throwing), and the presentation of your bait. i fish a lot, and have not caught any more fish using a glow rig vs. standard fishing. using the proper bait is what its all about. so basicly what im saying is if you feel better about using the glow use it, i think its just a gimmick ( fishermen cannot seem to get enough gimmick). just my opinion though.

I tried glow lures and stuff. I never noticed any difference in the number of fish I caught.
