Hey guys,

Just wanted to contribute a bit for anyone interested in getting an UV flashlight for glow cleos or moonshines.
dealextreme sells UV flashlights for $4.51, saving you the $15-20 bucks from getting it elsewhere.

here's the link. hope it helps.

Yup free shipping getin.
No reason for me to scam your 5 bucks. its not even my company lol you're dealing with paypal

I buy stuff from them ranging from car headlights, toothpaste squeezer, a bunch of cool things like fish odor remover and such.
The only one item i got disappointed is the "Grocery bag holder" which was supposed to help hold all your grocery bags into a bunch (easier to carry)...
it broke the first time i used it :angry:

Hope this helps.

Yes, UV light is the way to go for charging up glow in dark like Cleos...

But for lures like Moonshine super glow,,, multiple zap with powerful flash light is better, unless you want to let it charge up for a few minutes.


Than again,,, any type of light is more than good enough for cheap glow like cleos.

Look at this thing!

Kinda like a "Box of Mirrors" to amplify the UV LIGHT.

Wonder how well it works?

I've always found that no matter how bright the LED's the camera flash of even a cheap detachable flash unit to be much quicker at charging the glow lures.

Well,

If you read the specs of those super glow powder or glow spoons from moonshine,,, they claim that when properly charged, it'll glow for many hours. Than you do not have to charge your spoons during fishing. And yes,,, those boxes do help charge better. You can just make your own quick anyways.
