Luminous bib

You may think that Spaddler's luminous bib is designed to attract the fish. Well, you'd be right! There's no doubt it makes Spaddler easier for fish to see on a dark night - not that they really need our help to zero in and attack prey items.

We think the main benefit of the glow-in-the-dark bib is to you, the angler. How often have you been lure casting from a boat towards a tree-lined bank at night and had trouble judging the distance? How often have you strained to hear the sound of your surface walking lure so you could judge where it was as you retrieved it? Do you know exactly where your surface lure is heading when you've cast into the blackness?

We've experienced those problems so we guess they are issues for lots of nocturnal lure tossers. So how good is it that Spaddler's luminous bib acts as a guidance system for anglers?

Charge it up!

You carry a torch when fishing at night, yeah? Give Spaddler's bib a few seconds in the limelight and it will glow for minutes (even without a torch-assisted charge these bibs will glow).

Then watch the path of the lure when you cast. It will arc towards your target out there in the blackness like a shooting star. You can easily track its direction and distance to drop it closer to your target than you're used to with a non-glowing lure.

After touchdown, you can still see where Spaddler is. Now it's easier to work the lure in the strike zone, or track it as you wind it back. It's all good!

NOTE: On bright moonlit nights, the luminous bib is less of an advantage. The higher ambient light levels mean that the luminous bib doesn't stand out so much. But cast in to a bank shaded from the moon by vegetation and you will see the difference.
