i have and have seen the soft flip tails used thats not what I am asking about but any info is appreciated.
I am referencing surf fishing on PINS at night.
Has anyone tried glow in the dark spoons or other baits (including the flip tails) with any great results.
I saw some glow in the dark soft squid I thought was interesting and then started seeing some spoons and different things and wondered if any of them might work a little or a lot?
Thought about spray painting some I have.

Next problem I have is I cant seem to find much in the way of 4-6 oz spoons and such. Every time I do a search it tried to pull up 1/4 3/4 anything with a 4 in it but no actual 4 or 6 oz baits/spoons, for Surf casting. Any suggestions.

Glow in the dark works, but blue, purple and black also work in the dark.

For big, check out Tady surface lures, they're like a solid-section spoon in cast aluminum, which sinks at a controlled rate. The Tady Starman 112 is 6" and 3.4 oz.

Sea Striker makes a 5oz chrome spoon
https://www.amazon.com/Sea-Striker-SES500B-1-Casting-Fishing/dp/B00AU5TVE6/ref=sr_1_8
Halco makes a 5" 2 oz spoon

and Hogy's makes giant slow-sinking epoxy jigs in glow in the dark, and beautiful prismatic colors.
The 6" Hogy's is 4 oz
But you might find the 2oz 4-1/2" lure to cast enough like a bullet for your need.

Hogy's also makes giant paddletail and eel soft baits up to 6oz

In hard baits, 5" Mirrolure 85M is 2-1/2 oz
Halco Max lures sink fast, and are available in 2-7/8 oz to over 6 oz

I love glow doa's in the lights and like glo SheDogs in the surf at dusk and right before dark.

Howdy CF friends
I happened by to read messages today since too cool and wet to be out today.
I know this changes to subject. However, the years prior to becoming a Winter
Texan I had most positive results with glow in the dark lures while ice fishing.
Just thought you might cool down thinking of ice fishing since you are still smoking hot

I've heard snook like them. But I don't think they increase the bite on lures for specks and reds. Black is good at night with surface or near surface lures.

During a full moon I like to throw black spoons at night. Caught a lot of fish that way.

Awesome Job Ron. Good work. Yeah the TSL will pull the bigger ones out at night. I'm hoping to get some night fishing in this fall after my vacation of sorts up north to musky fish.
