How to Charge a Glow in the Dark Lure

Glow-in-the-dark fishing lures require light to charge.

Glow-in-the-dark lures attract game fish when night fishing or fishing in deep water. Phosphorous contained in the body of soft plastic lures or paint-on hard lures requires charging, as phosphorous does not produce its own light. Charging a lure requires an external light source. The intensity of the light source determines the time required to charge the lure and the amount of time the lure will emit light.

Things You'll Need

• Battery-operated black light

Instructions

1. Turn on a battery-operated black light.

2. Set a glow-in-the-dark lure under the black light. Allow the lure to sit in place for five minutes.

3. Flip the lure over. Allow the lure to sit on the second side for five minutes.

4. Place a second lure under the black light while you fish with the charged glow-in-the-dark lure.

Tips & Warnings

• Turn off your black light when not in use to extend battery life.
