Rapala RGCRM ultraviolet (UV) LED lighting device for glow baits on a fishing rod

UV LED Light Device for Illuminating Glow Lures on Fishing Rod Rapala RGCRM

Rapala Charge N Glow Rod Mount RGCRM is a compact and functional device specially designed to efficiently activate glow-in-the-dark lures using ultraviolet LED light. It attaches directly to the fishing rod, ensuring instant and even charging of lures, which is especially important in low visibility, deep waters, or during nighttime fishing. The device greatly simplifies gear preparation, saves time, and enhances fishing success.

Purpose and Working Principle

The primary task of the device is the instant activation of luminescent and glow-in-the-dark lures, jigs, soft baits, and wobblers that accumulate light and glow in the dark. The built-in powerful UV LED guarantees even and stable emission, charging the lure in just a few seconds. This eliminates the need for extra movements and manipulations — the lure is illuminated directly on the rod, without the need to remove or hold it. The device is especially valuable during night fishing, winter fishing, in murky water, or at great depths where visibility is minimal.

Convenience of Mounting and Operation

The Charge N Glow RGCRM comes equipped with a reliable clamping system for attaching to the rod blank. The mounting requires no tools and is done in just a few seconds. The universal shape of the holder allows the device to be mounted on rods of various diameters, while it securely attaches without interfering with the fishing process. Control is done with a single button that activates the LED for a specified time. The energy-saving operating circuit ensures longer battery life, and the durable housing is resistant to mechanical damage and moisture.

Reliability and Adaptability to Field Conditions

The housing of the device is made from frost-resistant and impact-resistant ABS plastic, which does not crack at sub-zero temperatures. The LEDs are integrated into a sealed unit that prevents dust and moisture ingress. The model is adapted for use in extreme conditions: during winter fishing in temperatures below freezing, in rain, snow, or high humidity. Even with frequent use in field conditions, the design maintains its functionality, and the quality of the emission does not degrade over time.

Advantages for the Angler

Using the Rapala Charge N Glow RGCRM offers clear benefits: reduced gear preparation time, brighter and more consistent glow of lures, and an increased chance of successful catches. The device is particularly useful for anglers who prefer active night fishing with balance lures, jigs, and glow-in-the-dark soft baits. UV backlighting makes the lure highly visible to predators, positively affecting fishing results. The compact size and lightweight design make the device an indispensable accessory in any angler's arsenal.
