this topic came up like 6 months ago, i want to say the general opinion was that they do not work any different then a normal bait.

Baits that give off UV light have been pretty well known for salmonoids for some time now.  I'm not sure they'd make any difference for bass.

I bought a few of their baits just to try them out. I like to support the local Missouri lure manufacturers when I can. I haven't used them much but I'm not impressed with the action of the baits I have used. The plastic isn't soft enough in my opinion. I have used the beaver, the grub, and the shad/minnow swimbaits. The beaver is so stiff there isn't much action to speak of as it comes through the water. The grub is OK and the shad/minnow baits may have a place but I need to use them more before I can give a fair opinion.

The beaver may not have as much action as your other company beavers. buuttt why do you want a lot of action? To get the fish to see your bait. With the new UV technology fish can see it so its geared toward a more natural presentation. Does a live crawdad flick his pinchers around non stop all day? Central open Brent Chapman beat the A rig with a UV beaver.

all the research i could find was that adult largemouth bass do not see UV light, only juvenile see UV. I dont see the need to spend so much money on them given this research. Im sure they will catch fish, but i dont think the UV has anything to do with it.
