Default UV Pens for Lures

What pens do you guys use to recharge your Glow Lures? Havn't seen any kicking around anywhere

I just picked up a couple packs of Jamminjigs and most of them glow, Real good lure to, But the glow wear's off after awhile of sitting in the tackle box after sunset.

I just use a little flashlight, I haven't heard of UV pens.

I've been meaning to get a UV box like: http://www.bigpapasportfishing.com/charge_box.htm for a while. I have the UV pen for curing wader holes and it doesn't work on glow jigs for that long. All fly fishing departments and shops carry the little pen, just ask for the UV repair light pen.

This is what I need. All of the Jigs are relatively small, And they should all fit in there. Thank you. I will check out the fly section for the Pens, Apparently 10 secs is all they need to be charged.

Go to a dollarstore and get yourself an led flashlight. That's all I use for my glow hooks. Works great and if you drop it down the hole by accident you are only out like $0.50 if they're 2/$1.00.

You can buy UV LED flashlights online, some have a crazy amount of LED's in them. Regular LED's will charge them, just not as well as the UV ones...
