Probably 6MM eyes.  Is that blue streak on the bottom photo trick photography or did you add some powder or ??????  Good looking baits.

Oh Yeah...that's Killer.  Mixed up a color I worked-up (on paper) this passed hitch...my 1st time ever using Green Pumpkin.  Podna.  I see why Yawl like GP and it's variants.  I mixed 8 oz.s with CCM Green Pumpkin NB and CCM Gold Pearl NB (I call it GP-Squared) and shot 5" Skinnies (plus a few other baits)...I now have a new favorite "natural" color (just eye-candy, at the moment) for a Minnow-Twitch.

Awesome Toads, Dob...BANGIN' Color Combo.  Fine Work Sir.
