I always glow! Some people would disagree though:)

If the water is dark or its dark outside it'll be glow for me.

Wow. Looks nice! Glow it up!!!

Kinda looks to me, like you've got your mind made up already.

Glow here too.

In low light conditions, morning and evening i would definately use the charger to my glow tackle. in clear water during the day i feel that there would be no need to use to glow tackle but instead a natural silver or gold reflective tackel reserving the glow tackel for the low light conditions.

I'm a glower, too, especially for catfish. It's AMAZING how picky they can be...lose a fresh glow, and the bite rate drops tremendously.

Used the UV glow buster flash light on them......blew me away how much more they glow with the UV light.

I would think that the nastiest smelling chum or bait alone would draw in catfish. Just the idea that you would catch more fish using glow tackle blows me away as well. I have never targeted specifically catfish. i have thought about going after catfish in the summer time, but have talked myself out of it.

When you are using glow tackle and have noticed a considerably better bite, what species are you targeting? bluegills, crappie, perch, walleye, largemouth, smallmouth or what.

I find myself mostly a walleye fisherman. I do target bluegills and crappie from time to time. just need to find them and they can be as much fun as anything else. caught a few largemouth through the ice but havent even caught a smallmouth through the ice.

As far as tackle is concered i have a bunch of glow tackle. I will honestly not be affraid to ask what works best for you guys as far as specific brands or tackle?

Crappie & walleye are great fish to use glow on from my experiance. Never had much luck with bluee gill bass or perch though.

Glow buckshots work well for me.

I am hoping the walleyes inhale these. Just got them, they are super glow from Northland. Cmon ice!!!

They will

I'm not big on glowing lures. I don't ever remember a time when a glowing jig or hook out produced a non-glowing one in any amount. I feel glow is a case of less is more.

I feel you don't fish in the dark enough. Many times over the glow jigs have outproduced non-glow. Even a faded glow produces less than a fresh charge to the glow. Escpecially for crappies, walleye and catfish. Oh wait, that's pretty much all the fish that bite in the dark. I guess I like glow jigs.

Agree completely. I will throw one that has not been charged up with little attention, then charge it back up and the screen lights up with fish. For panfish, you don't want to only experiment with glow jigs. Putting on glow plastics on a non-glow/glow jig can be the ticket when fish are negative - Wedgees in glow are a killer with small tungston jiggs when they start losing interest in everything else smile

at night or dark stained waters, I glow, ALWAYS....I found a few years ago some small soft beads that glow and I will slip one over the bare hook on my dead stick and I have found that very productive as well, even during the daylight. (yes, there is a minnow on the hook as well. the soft bead slides up to cover the eye of the hook)

      Those flooding problems are a sign of your needle and seat are leaking.  If the needle has a ring around the tip you can clean it if it's brass. If it has a black rubber tip then it needs to be replaced. You can clean the needle and seat with things like rubbing compound or even toothpaste I use a product called Semi chrome. It for polishing die pins. Just clean them up after polishing.

      All of those Polaris sleds from that era were notorious for flooding and leaking. I've still got a 2003 XCSP 600 Edge that my daughter rides. As you noted, you need to shut off the fuel in those situations.
    • SkunkedAgain
      Yes, but it could make for an amazing walleye opener.

      How old is your belt?   My old Polaris 4 wheeler with belt drive was bogging at mid range to top end last year.  Changed the belt and that problem went away.
    • JerkinLips
      Previous owner (22 years and 5,000 miles ago) said it was prone to flooding when sitting for a long time or trailering, so I shut the fuel off in both cases.   Primary is significantly worn.  I replaced several rollers and pins which helped.  I have two used clutches in much better condition that I could (and should) install.   It seems more like when I hit the throttle, but the bog could be from poor clutch shifting.  Will have to pay attention next time and inspect the clutches.  Thanks for the ideas.

      Nope, he beat me fair and square, all his.  This weather had been depressing. As it sits now we are looking at a later than normal ice out. I hate scrabbling with docks, lifts, boats right before opener. Also limits some pre opener crappie chances.

      👍 when/if i get drawn.....which i should know about june 1 we'll get in touch........both my kid and myself should get drawn.   and thanks.........with 6 preference points............i think are odds are pretty good.............there giving out 375 permits......and since we had yogi and booboo destroy my birdfeeders last spring......🙄

      In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller.  Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle?

      but if he really wants I can change the date..
