    In my testing, which has been quite a bit - some days UV gets hands down dominated by non UV.
    other days its the opposite and UV wins.

    There have been a ton of instances where we've actually watched fish ignore regular non uv spinners and grab the uv stuff.
    Also we've seen fish run mach 3 away from UV spinners that were not bothered by the regular spinners near them.

    I think it's just another nice tool for the arsenal, But it's simply conditionally dependant, and based on the individual fish (maturity, agression, impulse, or simply something the're unaccustomed to in a river setting) - whether it is better or not.

    As an average we catch more fish, more consistantly on non UV gear. The UV makes a very nice changeup lure when the norm isnt cutting it.
    That is the opinion I have with the data from all my testing.

    I totally agree. I would think spinners would be a bit different then say a jig or yarn ball being that spinners can spook fish or agitate them to bite regardless of UV or not. Its more in their face!
