Do luminous attractors work?

---------------------------------- I have been experimenting with luminous tubing and small cyalume sticks when night fishing over the past few years. I have been attaching a one inch length of luminous tube to the hook trace next to the bait. I shine my headlamp onto this tube for a few seconds before casting to increase the light given off by the tube. I have found that I am getting better catches on the baits with the tube, and now incorporate luminous attractors into all my rigs for night fishing from rock platforms into clear water. Since using tubing I have caught three ling from the shore, usually a rare shore catch in Wales. Also three bearded rockling are attracted by the glow from the tube and I have caught two of these over two pounds since using luminous attractors. Of course beads and light sticks are just as effective.  more

I have experimented and used a standard "Starlite" measuring 37mm x 4.5 mm when night fishing over the past few years. I have been attaching a one inch length of luminous tube to the hook trace next to the bait. I shine my headlamp onto this tube for a few seconds before casting to increase the light given off by the tube. I have found that I am getting better catches on the baits with the tube, and now incorporate luminous attractors into most of my rigs for night fishing. Experimentation is the key, and if your not having much success, try it without !!  more
