Fishing Commercial and Private

Why fish? The enjoyment of fishing is as personal as the lure the angler chooses. Our enjoyment also increases as the catch increases. This is why so much attention is given to the design and selection of lures, spoons, plugs, spinners, flies, etc. Today, fluorescence and phosphorescence had taken over as the leading edge in lure design.

History.

The use of artificial fish lures dates back as early as the third century B. C. being mentioned by the Greek poet Theocritus. In 1778, Captain James Cook observed that the natives of the Sandwich Islands (Hawaiian Islands) used spoon-like lures made out of bone.

More recently, in the early 1800’s a Vermonter named J. T. Buel accidentally dropped a teaspoon overboard while eating his lunch. He noticed that the motion and glitter of the spoon in the water drew a pass from a large fish. After using up his own stock of spoons, he went on to make spoon lures commercially.

In 1886, James Heddon was whiling the time away by tossing bits of wood into a stream, the Dowagiac Creek in Michigan, when a large bass made a pass at a plug shaped piece of wood. This promoted James Heddon to go into business making plug lures.

Now, through the courtesy of modern paint chemistry, attractive brilliantly fluorescent (and/or luminescent) colors may be applied to lures, spoons, spinners, and plugs, to enhance their appeal to the wily fish.

Commercial

The fishing industry generates more revenue than any two major professional sporting associations. Commercial and private alike, a lot of money and energy go in to developing that illusive “perfect lure”. Risk Reactor has been supplying fluorescent and phosphorescent paint to the fishing industry for years. Recently, with the advent of Super Phosphorescent Pigments, Risk Reactor has been on the forefront of this exciting technology.

We, in conjunction with our clients, have developed numerous applications where our Glow in the Dark Pigments have been used commercially to increases catches. Not only does fishing products made with Glow in the Dark Pigments attracts fish but it is also rechargeable. This “recharging” allows the users to not pollute the environment with disposable (battery and glow sticks) harmful products and increases profits due to its reusability.

Attraction of Fish and Light.

It is a well-established scientific fact that fish are attracted to any form of light. Even on the brightest day, unless the water is exceptionally clear, very little light penetrates to the depths in which some of the larger fish are to be found. By painting a lure or other artificial bait with Risk Reactor’s Glow in the Dark Paint, it becomes a tempting glowing morsel when dropped in these dark depths, The mere act of attaching the luminous lure to the line in bright sunlight is sufficient to cause the paint to glow brilliantly. At night, the glow may be activated by shinning a flashlight on the lure.

Fast Glow - Glow in the Dark Pigment. Our PPZNBB-06 Fast Glow pigment is used in making Shadow Wall Exhibits, glow vinyl, plastics, paints, and other applications where you need a glowing color that absorbs light quickly, then emits it quickly. Our Fast Glow Pigment has been used as a Safety Grade Pigment for years. It is non-toxic and non-radioactive. This pigment is used in everything from special effects and safety, to cosmetics and entertainment.
