Wicked color.  Imagine that bait under a black light while night fishing!!
What does it look like in normal light?

That was taken out side in the sun, would be cool under a black light. I may have to get one to try it out.

Glow Powder with a little little Blue?  Or is it just the lighting?
Either way a neat bait.  The "old days" glow powder had a very bad;
rotten smell to it.  I understand this generation does not.  I imagine it is a slick night fishing bait.

Could you explain what "highlight" is.... where you get it....and how/why it is used?

Thanks!

its like a pear that works on the outside of the bait rather than the inside like pearl does. you use just a little. Like when you see a bait with a white belly but in the light it has a blue or another color sheen to it. Most of the time you add it to a different color than your using. I know Jason is looking in to getting some he just needed to figure out the ones he wants to carry.

OK, How do you make electric blue? Im guessing blue with some white mixed in? You always come up with good color combinations1 Thanks for sharing.

LC has electric blue colorant. You will not achieve this color seen without the hi lites though.
