I had some "rubber worms", years ago that "glowed"....you held them under a bright light to "charge them". They worked pretty well (at least they seemed to :-\). I never could find any more...at least locally...maybe I should check "online". Where did you get that stuff, Benni ?

Strontium Aluminate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strontium_aluminate) is very popular in the Salmon trolling fishery here in BC because so much bait is Bioluminescent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioluminescence).

So many options available online now-paint, tape, beads.

I get little 2oz jars at Tap Plastics for something like $15 a bottle.  Mix it with clear nail polish and brush it on.  I use an accessory camera flash attachement as a light source to charge it.  Just hit the button but DO NOT look at it when you do.  Otherwise you will he fishing in the dark, flash blinded.  Lol.

Check Alumiglow Powder Paint. Many vids on his site, I have used his products and it still works many years later.

I found some glow in the dark nail polish that was shipped from China,
not very glowy but was cheap.

I mix the luminescent powder you can buy on ebay with liquid rubber when making soft plastic tails .It works very well mix before you heat the liquid in the microwave.As we fish ultradeep water here .The no light no bite adage holds true .The glow tape off ebay has the longest glow time and its easy to tart up lures.I lock it all into place but coating the lure with rod finish and turning on a rotisserie for 9 hrs.
