They are not out yet. Dan Foss of Apple Valley MN. invented the GloJig. They have a mercury-free battery, that is one-fifth the size of a dime. He hopes to have them on the market before Minnesota's fishing season opens. The jigs come in 4 sizes and 2 types. One stays lit while the other one flashes. But then the Minnesota Pollution control said he has to use mercury-free batteries. Foss has found a company that makes those batteries. so the senate will reconsider the bill this week.
Thanks

So why does the Senate have to vote on this? What do they think, this new jig will catch all the fish? Bio-hazard? If bio-hazard is the case they better outlaw leadhead jigs and lead sinkers. Or did they already do that? Not from Minn. but that sort of interferrance with peoples right to fish, kind of ticks me off.
Lighted jigs for dim-witted fishermen!
Gimme a break! Why don't you just use a camera and a net?
(Please, don't anybody give me a lecture on "advancing technology".)

You can add lighted lures to a growing list of technological devices that we have at our disposal in Minnesota. The bill passed the House earlier and was expected to be signed by Gov. Jesse Ventura. I don't know if the inventer is going with an established lure maker or starting one on his own. they will be out in May. I bet he will make lighted crank baits etc. besides the lighted jig.
