UV cover dip is really the ticket. In plastics that block the light like the frogs here it does a great job of firing up the surface of the baits and I actually think that it helps to make the clear even more so with that subtle touch of blue-violet that the enhancer sheds.

Nice frogs.

I use the LW UV stuff.  Love the fact that it's liquid.

I forgot to include black glitter in the belly when I posted this, so I modified the recipe now to reflect it. I like how the large black glitter tones it down some and breaks up the yellow. A frog's stomach isn't perfectly white or yellow, so who knows how the fish will react to it.

   It seems to me it's an off white with a dull greenish hue to it... maybe, make a white, with a bit of pumpkin or maybe watermelon green to tone it down some....
