Tim Wohland Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hi guys , This is a glow in the dark version of my Softex Squid . Next time your out night fishing take on of these along. It's a little tough " Shooting " 100' of outdoor extension cord . But it's worth the effort LOL . Fish see this thing from a long way off ! Tim This is what it looks like in the daytime.

EBHarvey Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 And I'm out there chucking decievers and clousers??? That thing's incredible, but whats it weigh? I've done stuff I ain't proud of, and the stuff I am proud of is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Wohland Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Thanks everyone ! The fly looks bulky but it's very light. The body is hollow and practically weightless . The only thing that is solid is the head . I got the idea from fishing tube baits for Largemouths . The body is made out of cloth coated with 5 coats of Softex. You can crush it , sqweeze it or what ever . As soon as you let go it pops right back into shape. It also feel just like the real thing. When a fish grabs it they hold on for a long time. It's not like a hard stick bait. This one is 5 1/2 " long , but you can tie them any size you want. A 9 wt. outfit is all you need from a boat and a 10wt. will do just fine if your beach fishing. See ya at the show ! Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Wohland Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I'm real happy you liked the Glow Squid. I was trying to mimic the natural flashing that Humble's do when they get excited or feel threatened . The glitter reflects any light that might be present like a full moon or boat lights, but it's not one of my realistic Squids. Seakit posted a photo of one type the other day. In case any one missed it I'll post it here. The Squid below is a daytime color scheme and a lot more realistic then my night fishing version. Check it out. Fish this baby during the day and you'll catch the Stripers with their PANTS Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Wohland Posted November 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Hi Seakit, great job. I feel like I should be passing out CIGARS'S LOL I can't wait until you chuck that that fly in front of a Striper ! Your fishing report should be interesting . Hi Sandman , The glow in the dark feature isn't rubbed on... it's part of the Squids skin. It won't wash off, not ever! It's a product made by Monic Lines called Aqua Glo. I incorporate it into the Squid Skin and it becomes part of the fabric body. Shoot me an e-mail and I'll "hook "you up ! LOL Thanks, Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
