There great if your fishing for Salmon, but other than a glow stripe down the back on surfacebaits or a glow blade on bucktails for night fishing, I never done much with them for musky.

Personally I have had good success with glow baits at night and in muddy water. Two of my most productive night baits are a spinnerbait with glow blades and a large black bucktail with a swatch of glow tape on the blade. To each their own I guess. I recall losing a very large musky on a figure 8 just after a guide who was fishing with me bashed me for throwing the glow. Throw the Glow!!!!!!

I like the big Glow Bulldawg during the day but not at night - in both clear and stained water. I've caught muskies on glow tail Black Dawgs after dark but the total glow seems to be too much.

Glow should be more of the secondary color or as an accent rather then the base color. It's too much, especially at night. Just throw a couple small strips on a lure and it'll probably help in stained. I'm still learning how best to use it at night.

I believe large glow spinnerblades would work on bucktails
I have some shads, twistertails and squid-tail spinners thazt I made which have glow components but I haven't caught more or less on them than on regular baits.
