I would like to know what most are using to provide a light source for their glow bait. I have heard a camera flash works well and others swear by a black type light. I am looking to purchase something here shortly and would like to get it right the first time for a change
Thanks

I start by laying out my lures on the engine cover. If the sun is out they get charged that way, but if not I have two fixed 55 watt halogen lights shining down on the fishing area. Just before sending them down I flash them with a LED mini mag light.

I have a flasher. It takes 2 AA batteries and it is specifically made to flash like a camera. I think I paid about 15 bucks for it a few years ago. Batteries last a long time, and I believe that it works well on charging up the glow lures.

It is a power flash.

I have an old camara flash that seems to work. The price was right.

I use a flashlight called "Illuminator." It's a wind up LED & just as bright as a camera flash. (At least I can't look at it) About $17. No batteries, no bulbs to buy. Easy to find, just do an internet search.

I was thinking of hooking up the flash. I also remember reading somewhere that they were using a black light of some sort. Just need to find one to give a try.

I've been using this one for a while now. I added a second light fixture shortly after building it and it makes my spoons and spinners glow real nice.
