Too much glitter?

I've got another bunch of plugs done and I'm happy with how they swim, however, I question my judgement on the amount of glitter used. I think I may have gone overboard. So I'm interested in your thoughts on glitter. Can too much scare off a fish? Is there any need for it in the first place?

Personally, I like it. I believe the extra bling bling attacts more attention. Especially from the blooooooooos (which is a bad thing sometimes). But I honestly have never seen any difference in the numbers of fish caught.


My goal in life is to be the kind of man my dog thinks I am.

I don't use glitter as rule. I have some sparkle I mix into the epoxy sealer once in a while. Don't think the bass care one way or the other.
