gear guide: misunderstood innovation
In the dark, the glow-in-the-dark colors
are more visible, for obvious reasons of
diffusion of light, after having stored it.
So the next time you see “UV” on the
package, know that this is not merely a
marketing ploy, and give it a try. You may be
surprised at the results.

FISHING
The great thing about lures that react to UV
is that they work just as well under ice, when
the sky is dark, in tinted or clear water, shallow
or deep, throwing, trolling, etc. The only time
they do not really stand out from other types
of offerings is during the night when there is
no sunlight to make them react.
As can be seen
in this picture,
when a lure’s
coating is
sensitive to UV
rays, its colours
become literally
flamboyant in
the eyes of fish
when exposed to
sunlight.
