Tin at night?

That picture in Joe's post is freaking me out. Just when I think I got it figured out, the room spins.

Next thing you know someone will tell you you can fish eels during the day.

I rarely fish them at night. I don't think I have ever seen them on anyone's rod at night either. That said, I pour a bunch myself and have given them to others who told me..."Hey I got a 22#er on that tin you gave me the other night"...My response was: You fished it at night?

I just normally fish them during the day but they seem to work as well at night too. I know several guys make black ones...which IMO sort of defeats the purpose of using "tin" with its reflective properties. (why not use lead or a lead alloy?) Since then I dipped a few in different colored powder paints myself and have caught fish with them but I still fish most tins "naked" (without paint) during the day.

Personally, I think coloring tins are aimed at just selling more flavors to fishermen...That said, at least at this point in time the US has no law on the books saying you can't fish tins (of any color) at night...but that might change.
