best glow discs

[time808]

Im looking to buy some good glow discs. What would you recomend? I've heard the Gateway Superglows are really good but i cant find them anywhere. Also does anybody know where I could buy like a bundle of innova chapion discs? Possibly the whole champion line?

Thanks, dan

the club has a large selection of gateway glow wizards, elements, and sabres in stock.

innova and discraft regular glow plastic all suck. You need to charge it up before each throw. I've heard that discraft photon glow is on par with gateway superglow.
I have an old DGA GlowFly (Blunt mold in glow plastic) that will glow all night off one good charge.

I have a Discraft Glow Z Tracker that glows really really well for as long as i play.  The only catch is that you have to be playing somewhere thats nice and dark.  If there is street light or its only dusk, then it'll be very hard to find.  Out at Fairfield its easier to find that most discs during the day even.

The Gateway disc that Mirth gave Maddisen for helping at Widdershins is a great glow disc! I'll have to test it in a course situation and report back.

Dont they close fairfield at dark?  One of my friends was telling me the cops showed up once and told them to leave because it was past sunset.

I had a glow starfire and it didnt hold a charge very well at all.  I have always just used the bobber lights, taped to the bottom of the disc.  I just take a champ Teebird and a KC Aviar at night usually.  The bobber lights work well with anything white or translucent.

In my opinion, the best glow disc is your favorite disc with a glow stick attached with clear shipping tape. It's much brighter, lasts longer, and it really doesn't affect the disc's flight characteristics.

Don't do glow plastic unless it's completely dark or you like searching for discs. I haven't seen the Gateway stuff but the Discraft Photon Glow is pretty good. One charge of my Wasp usually lasts at least 3 holes.

Try using clear duct tape with the glow stick. You use less tape and you can transfer the stick and tape from disc to disc without losing it's "stickiness." You'll only need to use 2 or three sticks.

Are talking about the Lindy Nite Flite Lites?

[Mike S]

Yep, those are the ones.  You can get them in the fishing section of any place like Wal-Mart.  They slip into bobbers so they glow in the water at night.  Not sure I understand the purpose but they work well for discs.  Fish are attracted to them maybe?

Never new Wal-mart sold them. Thanks!

fish like them, but more importantly you can tell when you get a hit on your line!
very important when fishing at night....

I bought some clear duct tape last night. That stuff is sweet. Holds strong but peels off easy & sticks back on. Good thing about the tape is it does not leave anything on the disc after you take it off.

You get ripped off ordering those online. IF you are going to buy them make sure to do it at a local store. Red ones seem to be the brightest (and cheapest). Here in Kenosha they sell for $2.50.

If you tape the light just to the tip where you pull/push the LED part you can turn it on and off all night; you don't have to keep the light on all night and save yourself some life of the light.

I've personally had issues, especially as the lights age, where the light may flicker or turn off in flight... To combat this I'll take a small piece of tape and stretch it over the LED, compressing it down.

I have never seen a color other than red...  But technically red LED's produce less light that any other color currently available.  They are the cheapest and easiest to obtain, though.  White and Blue are the brightest but I doubt they are usually used in a product like this.

I've seen green, but they're very hard to find. Dr Dye has told me in the past he's got his from Walmart, but typically you had to purchase it with a bobber.

All bass pro carries are the red ones.

Wal-mart sells the regular flourescent type sticks...the ones you snap and shake. They are about  and inch and a half long. They lasted over 8 hours. They are no larger than the small red LED ones. They are located in the fishing section. I couldn't find the red lights, so I went with these. They worked very well.

gottagothrow has the nite flite lites for 2.95 each. u can get em in red yellow or green. i have used the red one and on a white opaque disc i was able to see it from about 75-100 feet away. they last like 24hrs and u can turn em on and off. i really wish i hadn't lost mine. the regular glow sticks are easier to see with other opaque discs than these LED ones so i find using them both to work out nicely.

[CEValkyrie]

I went to Wal-Mart to pick up some of the small Nite Brite's. They only had red. Look in the fishing section near the bobbers.

Take this with you if you cannot find them.

I just picked up the last 3 at the Round Lake Wal-Mart. They will be reordering.



I also did a search to find other colors.

When you do use Glow discs, what is the best way to charge them.
Which Portable Black light would you recommend and where can I get it.
