Mc Rocket Herring Strip Regular BS 24

All MC Rockets contain the “Next Generation” glow powder called strontium aluminate, which glows 10 times brighter and 10 times longer than the original (zinc sulphide.) I use only premium green glow, which is the brightest and glows longer than all other glow colours I tried – plus the fact that fish see different hues of green, and most of all, it works.

This premium glow powder – which not only absorbs light, but then re-emits it slowly over time – is activated by a light source high in UV, such as black light or sunlight. Time required for a full charge (Glow time 4-5 hours, probably longer):

Sunlight – 5 min.
Black light – 10 min.
Halogen – 10-15 min.

For the early risers, a double-bulb 12V portable black light (found at Canadian Tire in the car accessory department) works well. We use a box lined with tinfoil, with a light at the top and one at the bottom. Do not place a Rocket directly on top of any plastic lens as it could have a chemical reaction, dulling the lens. Wrap the lens a couple of times with cling-free clear food wrap. A simple fix.

All Rockets contain glow on the back side, while the single digit colour numbers have glow throughout (Ultra Glow). Simply apply a UV light source to the back side, as well as the front on the Ultra Glows. They will glow for 4-5 hours – probably longer with the brightness decreasing as time elapses. And it can be charged hundreds of times without losing its brightness. Just remember: “IF IT DON’T GLOW, IT DON’T GO.”
