Hi S.G.
can you buy hooks with isotopes attached? i have never heard of them. It would be easy enough to fit your own if you dress flys. I use a luminous thread, Daz and sewin angler us a luminous material which comes from New Zealand, you can use the luminous muppets cut into strips, but perhaps you want isotopes for a specific reason?
I will keep my eyeout for them,
Si
not hooks but have al ook here....www.tackletactics.co.nz/Flytyingmaterials.html

Ive never seen them, the firefly isotopes are shrunk onto hooks but they are pricey.
Go with Daz's idea! or use a fluro Mylar

;DHOPPY,THE FIRE FLY PRODUCT IS THE EXACT ONE THAT IM LOOKIN FOR.WOULD YOU HAVE AN ADDRESS THAT I CAN GET SUM FROM,LOOKING FOR SOME SINGLES AND DOUBLES. Try this one SG: www.foxons.co.uk/product.asp?numRecordPosition=1&P_ID=847&strPageHistory=cat&strKeywords=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=235They're not cheap wherever you get the from, however, they do last years - as long as you don't decorate any trees with them, which probably won't look out of place at this time of the year. ;D I do use them, especially on very dark nights or if there's some colour in the river. I have found the red ones to be best, however, this may be a case of trial and error. TT. |

I've used theFirefly things. Plus a luminous strip that is a lot cheaper. I've even incorporated a full blown rod tip isotope into a big tube for use at night when there is a bit of colour. The big Isotope tube proved to be a fantastic fly for ... ... Pike  Which are a right laugh to unhook in the pitch black wading up to your belly. |

Just pop into hobby craft and buy a tube of the glow in the dark t-shirt paint.
Once you've dobbed a little on the hook varnish it and charge with a torch when you need to.
