Gear & Gadgets: Newest accessory from Vexilar and more – Outdoor News
Anglers who use lures painted with a phosphorescent material that glows when charged by UV light will be impressed with the newest accessory from Vexilar.
The Glo-Ring fits into a Vexilar carry case rod holder and can be used as a rod holder too, but inside the ring are 18 super bright, UV LEDs to charge a lure instantly with 360-degree coverage by simply dropping the lure into the lighted chamber.
It’s built to be powered by a 12-volt battery source and the Glo-Ring easily attaches to Vexilar’s quick charge jack plug to a battery but also comes with gator clips for getting power from any 12-volt power source. The package comes with a wall-mounting bracket so the Glo-Ring can be mounted inside a permanent fish house or on any type of portable carry case, like the popular Genz Pack “Blue Box”.

Want to upgrade your compound bow this offseason? Here’s what to consider
It has a master on/off switch but can be kept on all night if needed with minimal power drain. Most glow lures require a re-charge every 2-5 minutes, so using a flashlight to re-charge a lure is time consuming, so you tend not to do it as often as you should. Now with the GLO-RING, you simply dip the lure into the chamber for one second and you are fully charged and good to go.
