Maybe see what he says?

i tried melting the ends dick.did not ball up like mono as expected.  it is a soft stretchy material.until i   looked closely i assumed it was a tubing .i don't even know where i got it.

[jim cosgrove]

it seems to work the same way the fiber optic sights for guns and pins on a bow work.

[David, aka, "McScruff"]

Pretty cool and downright inventive.
If there is enough light in the water, it might attract attention and result in a strike.
You oughta catch a bunch of fishermen with that innovation, too!

You could be on to something.

DANG IT JIM!!  NOW YOU HAVE ME WANTING TO TRY THAT  TO!!  WONDER IF WEED EATER LINE WILL GLOW  LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE?   ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT I GUESS!!  GOT TO GET SOME UV CURE STUFF FIRST; WHAT KIND OF LIGHT ARE YOU USING?

[larry c. smith]

I have been using weed wacker line they have a flourescent orange and chartruse. I wonder if the uv material wil add more light gathering to these as well

[jim cosgrove]

good to hear from you shooter.the spawn is just starting here.was at a nature preserve with no fishing allowed and saw literally 100s an d 100s of beds.

[jim cosgrove]

it is a type of vinyl or plastic lace i picked up at a craft store i think.i think it is for making necklaces or something.i dip the end in UV cure resin to build up the eyes.it has a fiber optic quality to it i didn't notice at first

[dick tabbert]
