Glowbite Fishing Products — Innovation That Catches Fish

Glowbite is a forward-thinking New Zealand fishing tackle brand driven by innovation and performance. Their core idea? Add visual and sensory “triggers” (light, movement, scent, sound) to lures to make them more irresistible to fish. Glowbite+2The Fishing Website+2 Over several years of prototyping and testing, Glowbite has developed a suite of lures, jigheads, LED modules, and accessories that work in tandem to increase strike rates—often dramatically over standard lures.

Key Technologies & Product Features

Here are some of the standout Glowbite features you can use in your product descriptions:

Flashing / LED light activation: Many Glowbite lures and modules contain water-activated LEDs (or flashing elements) that mimic stressed or reflected baitfish light signatures. In side-by-side testing, glow/lighted lures have attracted up to 3× more strikes compared to non-lit lures. The Fishing Website+3The Fishing Website+3Glowbite+3
Fish Attractant Dispenser (FSD): Several Glowbite lures include small cavities or channels you can fill with scented attractant. As the lure moves, it releases scent – essentially creating a scent trail to draw in predatory fish. Fishing Innovators+3Glowbite+3Fishing Innovators+3
Dinner Bells / rattles: Some models include internal rattles to generate sound/vibration — another sensory stimulus to entice fish. The Fishing Website+3The Fishing Website+3Glowbite+3
Hook Placement Technology & assist chords: Glowbite uses stiffer assist chords and hook flies so hooks stay “up in the skirt” rather than burying, improving hooking probability. Fishing Innovators+2The Fishing Website+2
Twin Tail / multiple action styles: Some lures offer combined tail styles (straight + curly) so they perform under different speeds or drift conditions. The Fishing Website+1
Durability & premium components: Glowbite builds its lures using high-quality hooks (e.g. Owner 2/0 “Gorilla” hooks), corrosion-resistant materials, strong assist lines, and line protection (Teflon tubes) to reduce wear. Glowbite+2Fishing Innovators+2
Specialized forms:
• Jack Flash – slow pitch style lure with deep concave surface for cavitation and hang time. Marine Tackle+1
• Lightning Rod Jigs – deep drop jigs with light, concave body design, designed for deepwater species (hapuku, kingfish, etc.). The Fishing Website+1
• Bleeder Jig Heads – flat fall, center weighted, with built-in scent release. Glowbite+1
• Micro Flash – lightweight jigs for shallower water or tough bites; “flutter fall” action. Marine Tackle
• Disco Clips – small LED flash modules you can clip to hooks, lures or lines to add a flash component to non-LED rigs. Fishing Innovators

Benefits & Why Use Glowbite

Increased strike rates: The addition of light, vibration, scent, and movement makes these lures more noticeable, especially in low visibility or deep water.
Versatility: Many Glowbite models suit a range of applications — from shallow inshore fishing to deepwater dropping.
Modularity & upgrade potential: Use Glowbite’s LEDs or Disco Clips to retrofit your favorite lures.
Proven performance: Anglers have logged catches of snapper, kingfish, trevally, hapuku and more using these lures, sometimes in challenging conditions. The Fishing Website+2The Fishing Website+2
Durability: Built for saltwater environments, with premium hooks and corrosion-resistant components.

How & Where to Use Them

Deep drop / bottom fishing: Use Lightning Rods or Bleeder heads for species dwelling deep; the flashing light helps attract fish in low light, dark water, or at depth.
Slow pitch rigs: Jack Flash is excellent when using slow pitch techniques for species like snapper or trevally.
Soft bait setups: Use Micro Flash or Bleeder soft bait kits for finesse approaches, especially in pressured zones.
Add-on flash: Use Disco Clips to upgrade ordinary rigs (longlines, gang rigs) in deep drop or night settings.
Clear/dirty water or low light: The flash/scent combo gives the lure an edge when fish are more cautious or visibility is poor.
