Anybody have any confidence in UV reflective plastics or hard baits?  Does it make a difference?

In my experience they work no better or worse than any other soft plastic.

I think just catch the fisherman in the bait store.

I was challenged by a member last year to give them a try. So I did. I used them for three days during the summer. The bass were holding at 40 to 50 ft deep. I was catching them on a worm so I switched over to the UV worm and spent the three days comparing the to other baits. I didn't notice a difference at all. They caught fish. But no more than other worms.
