    Default UV spray

    We're having a hot summer here in WNC and the bite has been off. I've been using some UV/glo lures from Kokanee Creek Tackle and have gotten hits that weren't coming on "tried and true lures" on tough days. I finally got some UV spray to coat gear I have without it. The spray reflects under the blacklight so I know it's working. Does the spray (UV Blast etc.) last for a long period on the lures ,or does it need to be applied frequently? Most importantly does the sray work as well as the UV finish on commercially made gear?

    I would think the spray washes off eventually...kinda like scent. I permantly coat jigs with Component Systems uv seal coat... it's an epoxy and dries to a hard finish.

    I spray all my blades with the UV Blast and then spray with a lacquer clear coat. It is then permanent! The UV Blast is an acetone based spray and sticks very well to beads as it almost becomes part of the plastic. I think you'll have a better chance of losing the lure before the UV wearing off.

    I've never used the uv blast spray. I was thinking it was something like that fool a fish uv spray. That stuff looked like diluted milk...used it one time and threw it out.

    It is like diluted milk and that is how it works. I actually made some dodgers and primed them white and sprayed the with UV then airbrushed and sealed with DN. It states on the bottle to re-apply every 30 or so minutes. Just make sure when you seal with out a uv blocker sealant.
