Flash unit

[jimcr]

I have seen in videos guys using a flash from a camera to charge there baits , I picked one up one ebay (brand new) for .99 plus shipping. Shipping was 5.25 I think. for less the 7.00 a new flash unit to charge my baits what a deal. Here is another one I found if anyone is interested.

I love them. You will wonder y u ever use a flash light again.

They work well but we've found a Streamlight LED with the UV function really lights them up fast and they glow a lot longer.

REALLY?

I have the uv light and I think the led works better than the uv option.

I've tested my moonshines in front of halogens, uv, leds, etc and the uv doesn't seem to make them glow better.

I could be doing it wrong though. (we used to call this "your holding your mouth wrong"). HA.

Any other opinions, I would be happy to hear what you guys think on this topic.

I'm a a sucker.

I have mag lights, uv, led, camera flash, halogens to light the back of the boat, I even bought that new berkley thing thinking it would do good at charging both sides of the lures at the same time. Doesn't work all that well.

Same here. Don't waste your money on the new berkley version of a lure charger. I found that if its a double sided glow spoon, the side that is resting on the lights (the bottom) will only be charged with little spots where the spoon sat on the tiny LED's.

I have found UV light to shine the lures more quickly and have a longer lasting glow than any other method I have used in the past. Ace hardware has small UV lights for $10 (you may have to order them at the store as they have rarely been in stock when I went to buy a couple). Just a quick couple of passes from the UV light on a glow lure and you are done. No holding them on the light or waiting for the flash to recharge.

I like my UV light that I got off Little Atom's website a couple years ago. Charges my Moonshines right up fast.
