FAQsFrequently asked questions about Fish Vision™ UV lure and jig paints What is it? Fish Vision™ is a patent pending high tech liquid paint that reflects in ultraviolet light (also known as UV). Fish Vision™ is designed to glow in UV 200X brighter than a glow paint and NEVER need to be recharged or to be light treated! How do I apply Fish Vision™ to my lures and jigs? Fish Vision™ UV paint is a liquid you can apply with a brush, spray it on or even dip your lure or jig. What is UV light?
UV light is found in sunlight and is emitted by electric arcs and specialized lights such as black lights. As an ionizing radiation it can cause chemical reactions, and causes many substances to glow or fluoresce. Most people are aware of the effects of UV through the painful condition of sunburn, but the UV spectrum has many other effects, both beneficial and damaging, on human health. *Nanometer - a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a meter, which is the current SI base unit of length. It can be written in scientific notations as 1×10-9 m (engineering notation) or 1 E-9 m (exponential notation), both meaning 1/1,000,000,000 meters How Do We "See" Using Visible Light? Can I use a black light to check my existing lures? NO! You may read on other websites that a black light will show you if your lures or jigs are UV reflective, this is NOT correct. The glow you see with a black light is the paint reflecting light rays not UV rays. Some black lights do emit UV rays but the human eye can not see them! A specialized camera and filters are used to see UV reflections. (uv camera's only show images in black and white) If you see pictures of a UV products glowing in a color they are using a black light. How come your competitors website shows color pictures and your is black and white? Fish Vision™ is the original UV lure and jig paint, our competitors are trying to fool consumers with using a black light to give their product color. The truth is UV can only be seen with specialized cameras and filters and they only give a black and white image. Don't be fooled by fancy websites or color images, Fish Vision™ is the TRUE patent pending UV paint.
Scientist have been doing research for years on how fish see. Research has shown that most fish have a fourth cone in their eye that allows them to see in the UV spectrum that humans can not and that the scales of many prey fish reflect UV light. (see pic) How does Fish Vision™ differ from a glow paint or powder paint? Fish Vision™ UV paint is a liquid you can apply with a brush, spray it on or even dip your lure or jig. Glow paints are made to glow to a human and the glow is not seen in the UV spectrum. (see UV jig pic)
How deep of water can Fish Vision™ UV Lure and Jig paints be used and effective? UV light penetrates water far deeper than humans can see. Oceanographers have found UV light penetrates the upper 200 meters of the ocean. Is there better times of the day Fish Vision™ UV paints works better? We have found Fish Vision™ UV lure and jig paints work well in dark murky waters, mud bottom lakes and rivers, ice fishing as well as clear lakes, oceans and night fishing!

What if Fish Vision™ freezes or becomes thick or clumpy over time? Fish Vision™ UV lure and jig paints are designed to withstand freezing. If your Fish Vision™ freezes, allow it to thaw to room temperature if your paint seems thick or clumpy, just put it in the microwave (with the cover on it) for 7-10 seconds and shake well.(if needed you may add a few drops of water). What do I need to do to spray my jigs or lures? Fish Vision™ will need to be thinned in order to use a spray applicator. Thinning is done by heating the product (with the cover on and in the original container) in the microwave for 7-10 seconds (less time if its not a full container). If needed you may add a few drops of water. Apply product while warm. Does it really work?? Fish Vision™ UV patent pending paints are truly the secret of the pros! Our product has helped pro's win numerous tournaments over the years. Our years of research and development has yielded a product that is truly a head of its time.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than x-rays, in the range 10 nm to 400 nm, and energies from 3 eV to 124 eV. It is so named because the spectrum consists of electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than those that humans identify as the color violet.
Why do I want my jigs and lures to GLOW in the UV?
