Re: UV

I have read the books mentioned by roadkill plus THE NEW SCIENTIFIC ANGLING TROUT AND ULTRAVIOLET VISION by Reed Curry. Very interesting subject but I don’t think we will ever know for sure the effectiveness or non effectiveness of UV materials. Lou I met Reed several times, interesting fellow. Las...
