Why a Blacklight Will Take Your Night Fishing To A New Level
If You Have Never Used A Blacklight While Night Fishing, You're
Missing Out
We all know the benefits of night fishing - bigger catches and
calmer waters are just two, however, night fishermen have
several challenges that "day time" fishermen do not have to deal
with.
Note: Not only is a blacklight nice to have, as you will soon
see, but the "Evening Secret" is a device that will take fishing to
a new level all together. (http://www.eveningsecretfishing.com/specialsecret/blacklig

One of the most difficult challenges is, of course, being able
to see your line to find out if you have had a hit. Here is one
way of easily being able to watch your line at night.
Use a blacklight and a fluorescent fishing line.
When fishing at night, it may be a few seconds before you know
you have one on the line. By this time, the fish could already
be under your boat or have begun it's mad dash to the opposite
shoreline.
By using a blacklight, your florescent line will glow in the
dark, making it sometimes easier to see your line than during
the day. You'll be amazed at how your line lights up in the dark
waters.
There are several types of blacklights on the market
specifically made for night fishermen. Probably the most popular
is the "Stan Sloan" brand. Cabela's also has an Optronics brand
blacklight they are selling for about $50.
Just as important as the blacklight is the type of line you use
with it.
Berkley makes a great flame green fireline florescent line that
works well with blacklight night fishing as well. The reason
this particular line works so well is because the florescent
coloring is not painted on the line, but rather is chemically
mixed into the actual line during production, which means the
color lasts much longer than other brands.
P-Line also makes a good fluorescent line that is clear. You
will need to test to determine which one works best for you.
The use of a blacklight during night fishing is a common debate
among avid fishermen. Some think the black lights may spook
certain fish, others couldn't live without using them.
Give it a shot and see for yourself. You may be pleasantly
surprised with the results.
