Okay have had a lot of questions about why I take some pictures using a black light so thought I would show what got me started doing this even though mostly lately I have been showing the Flo colors under a black light let me show a simple jig head that I coated with UV after I had it painted and cured. I can do it at the same time too, but this one was one I painted it on after the fact. One other little thing got me to try it like this was when I put the UV on during the painting the only color that really changed in regular light was silver so I wanted to try the paint on after and it worked better for silver.

Here is the jig head under my regular light in my tying room, but has UV on it now and we just can't see it.


Then under a Black Light even we can see it.

Skip, if I'm not mistaken, isn't the UV wave length the light that penetrates the deepest in the water? If so, that UV coating keeps that jig visible even in deeper water.

Sure does make it shine....

Yes Ken your right. The regular colors only can penetrate water so far and some fall out not all that deep. Blue and Violet will penetrate the farthest and in crystal clear water that's only about 40', but UV in the same water can go 700'.
