[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 370210, member: 330"] [MEDIA=youtube]BuwfpvOXp9A[/MEDIA] Also FWIW: I've used various color Sharpies to "paint" over luminescent grubs and a couple Testor's painted Shallow ShadRaps: On the plugs I did the best I could with sandpaper, plugging, dipping, drying: Sharpie "artwork" on top of the first dry level of clear coat with intention to spruce up as necessary: IME; if the paint is decorated before the first coat of clear--you'll get "black holes". Plastic grubs, etc; are easily colored with these markers and glow in the intended color. "Decorating" the first coat of clear should result in true color at any depth. Oddly (to me) I've had best results with these "artistic" presentations on sunny days below the Darling Dam with walleye. Nighttime excursions from the Tailrace bank have proved mostly unsuccessful (?!!!) with these glowing lures. I'm still holding on to the belief this could be untapped "amazing". On another note I wonder if true color/light at depth tends to spook fish. I wish "Dirty Mike" and "MSA" would post more. That is all. [/QUOTE]
