We found that glow sticks sometimes do work when added to your bait but its success is limited to certain areas which we cannot explain. In some location the fish will eagerly pick up the bait and you will be very successful but in other areas the same species fish won't touch it. My advice, always try it, it may work or may not work but never stop trying it at different locations.
