Nice jigs and good question. Seems to me like you see the glitter in darker colors. IMO

Thank you both for your comments. 
Hopefully, I can practice a little more glitter photography this weekend.

More testing.
Well, just like women, I still can't figure it out. :s
Should see lots of sparkling red flecks on the black and silver/gray jig heads in the photos. Will try another camera next time. That should do it.

Try taking a pic of one in the sunlight. Can't beat natural lighting. I put several different light sources up if stuck inside, i feel that helps as well. I actually move my POV around the jigs until i see the most "sparkle" from the glitter then take the pic from THAT spot.
Man o' man - love those black jigs!!!!! The top green ones on the first pic would be killers too... but........ that black............. 2

Thanks AF for your suggestions and comments.
Will try moving the jigs around a bit more and natural light at some point.
I am anxious to get out on my local river this week, but the rain keeps pouring down from buckets and may put a crimp on matters for me.

Pup I think your pics look good. Like Attica said, natural sunlight is the best for taking pics. If you have a macro setting on your camera, that also helps when taking close-ups.
