scuro2 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 Hi, I'm thinking of buying fortunespoons ...the glow in the dark ones anyone have any luck with them? in the past? I don't know about the rest of you but glow in the dark always underproduces regular lures.
fishinguypat Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Posted August 20, 2010 yeah but there site says there closed?
canadadude Posted August 21, 2010 Report Posted August 21, 2010 Maybe the dude has stopped making them,he used to venture out on the piers selling them they were a good glow spoon. My buddy won the St Catharines Fall Salmon derby in 2006 on a Fortune Spoon.Another good spoon is Moonshines, they make a heavy casting model that works pretty good, I beleive Short Wave in Port Credit has a good selection Glow Green is my favorite.
canadadude Posted August 21, 2010 Report Posted August 21, 2010 I don't know about the rest of you but glow in the dark always underproduces regular lures. not between 10pm and 5am
fishinguypat Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Posted August 21, 2010 yeah i thought to my self might aswell buy some if they glow and they aren't a bad price either
Burtess Posted August 21, 2010 Report Posted August 21, 2010 The big difference with the Fortune Spoons is with the paint finish. Compared to the finish on glow Cleo's, the Fortune glow lasts about 5X longer, and is a softer more even glow. Black lights and certain flashes are best for charging the long glows. Regular flashes don't charge them that well. Burt
fishinguypat Posted August 22, 2010 Author Report Posted August 22, 2010 so would an LED light charge them or what?
canadadude Posted August 22, 2010 Report Posted August 22, 2010 It will, but not very good the black lights are different then the LED lights
CLofchik Posted August 22, 2010 Report Posted August 22, 2010 so would an LED light charge them or what? No, you need the UV of an incandescent or black light. LEDs don't emit much ultraviolet. Check out surplus & dollar stores for lights to check for counterfeit money. Cheap, small black light that's good for zapping spoons.

There are also Blacklight/UV LEDs on the market, but I don't know if they fare much better than regular LEDs in terms of output. Cheap ones, like the ones used on cap lights, are dim and don't seem nearly violet enough for charging glow spoons.
mikeymikey Posted August 23, 2010 Report Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) If you want to use a LED flashlight... search ebay for UV LED Flash light that is 3Watt or higher. As for Fortune spoon, you would want to give it a clear coat spray as outter layer (glow) can chip off. Edited August 23, 2010 by mikeymikey
fishinguypat Posted August 23, 2010 Author Report Posted August 23, 2010 i can't contact the guy who sells them any help?
