I have caught fish on UV gear but discounted it in favor of my stud fishing mojo Now, I am coming around to believe that I may of had some help At the latest meeting of my
local Northwest Steelheaders Asso. Phil, a guy that owns a spinner and brine co. spoke about his research into UV light and fish feeding behavior. He spoke of the way UV light is polarized
of reflected as a lure coating or dye. UV light frequncies(that fish use)are any that are over 360 nanometers, while visable light will travel in a water column (salt) down to a depth of 40
feet,any deeper,all colors fade to grey. So, how do Salmon/Steelhead see their lunch below 40', vibration and smell play a part but their eyes can process UV(a) and UV(b) down to 750 feet !
It was explained that shrimp as seen by a Salmon/Steelhead glows a pink body with green legs and can be seen up to a quarter of a mile away! Phil also said that a Steelhead sees another
Steelhead as a purple fish with a hot pink stripe on it's side,coooolll ( a mushroom in highschool had the same effect ) He said some lure CO's., claiming UV, show their stuff under
a black light but all they have is fluorescent paint which will only work down to 40' then it's grey, fluorescent is not UV. It sounds like getting a lure to have the corect UV signature is the
Holy Grail. Phil said to remember the shrimp that was pink w/green legs, that same UV contrast has to be replicated on a lure to get the biggest and most frequent strikes. I was very
happy that he showed me the light, so to speek, and will look forward to Chad's line of new spinners I am a changed man Mojo still intact.

That's some good info there! I don't think we will be messing around with UV spinners as there are companies who do that like you mentioned. One area we are getting into is incorporating more UV into our jigs! Soon all of our jigs will reflect UV light, not just part of it, the whole jig glowing!

Right-on! I can't wait to get my hands on the jigs I ordered from u Ya the spinner world is crazy but much can be learned. Didn't tell you but he also has been trying to get his
spinners to have a positive charge (.27v is the magic no.) he made a spinner with a voltage of 2.3v, in a hole full of silvers when he cast the thing in they were jumping straight
up as it passed by trying to get away...too much i would say No batteries just electrolysis. With a spicial spinner wire and body parts he is getting the things to attract fish.
Soooo, could this be done with a jig? This is the cutting edge and the first one to figure it out will be king He told 30 of us so he must be close to cracking it. Just a little
something to keep you up at night with boys, there are a couple of details that I am holding onto

That's some pretty cool stuff there! There is always room for improvement I think. Thanks for the cool update.

A D Dbobberslob92wtf.....Your research is dead on and few know this fact. The uv hipe has been discounted as just that "hipe" by most. They are missing the boat.

Yes sir, I was one of them This guy was trying to sell his product but gave a talk that all should hear. He does have a web page but I am so happy with the Stalkers I don't want to promo
it as he does have a jig line. ( the jigs are nowhere close to Chad's quality anyhow) All this info is out there for those who are savvy at mining the net.
