Mission Imposible

Do you realize that the people who invented glow in the dark fishing lures were not people who knew how to fish? Even so, their new lures worked. In fact, they have been such a hit that they have created a new fad among fishermen. Fishermen say they really work.

Hungry fish search for food that is moving and catches their attention. The original kinds of lures, no matter how pretty they are, appear gray under the water. That’s why it is hard to catch fish with them. Even with just a minimum amount of light, the glow in the dark lures flash and shine under the water, allowing them to catch the attention of the fish.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to have glow in the dark lures. Buy a small can of glow in the dark paint that costs a little more than $3. 00.

Once they dry, spray them with clear spray paint. When they dry, you can take them fishing.  Read more...
