Awesome eye's they look like you could see the gills flare at any second
-
Nice eyes
-
Sweet Drew.
The market today has some eyes that are very, very realistic. Coupled with your artistic talents to make a bait look like it could flop at any moment and Mike's gill flare comment really holds true. Great looking baits bud!
-
That paint job on a blade bait with those eyes would be awesome!!!!
-
I like them, those finishes are so good that it would take a good eye to work that it wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb. I actually like them, but the most realistic eyes I ever used were the ones from BOSS, I think they are vision 3D or something like that.
-
What body is that? How you will share the supplier of those eyes
-
For me the question on eyes is the price. I don't believe it makes much difference to the fish.

I'm in this school too, but I do put eyes on those that I take pictures of for the internet. Personal baits are without eyes for the most part. Frogs would be the exception.
The larger eyes I use on frogs come from Do-It's catalog. I have a pile of various sizes and colors from Bogg's Baits and those are all I use other then the Do-It products.
On the hard baits eyes are important and are as much a part of the bait as the paint.
-
The eyes retail and average of $0.17/eye. Not a good price for plastics, unless you can crank up the sale price. They would be sweet on some of the larger hand poured multi-color swimbaits.

These are the eyes from Lifefly-outdoors http://stores.ebay.com/Lifefly-Outdoors (http://stores.ebay.com/Lifefly-Outdoors)
We had a group buy on Jigcraft and I got 7500 for $25 (.03 per eye), plus more for the Krystal flash but the store on the e isn't bad for the quantity - others have sent him color combo's they want and he's come up with them.

Very nice Drew. I had a ten minute stare down with that crank... it won. :(
-
Awesome paint job!!!!!!! That's another one I'd like on a blade bait - I can dip and brush tap jigs but I've tried painting like that and just don't have it.

Where can we get the eyes?

#CBBDARMY @CustomBaitsByDrew
does the price /eye drop at like 500 or 1000 eyes?
-
Not until 10,000.

I think we can get them from Drew... He just hasn't told us what the mark up is gonna be yet.
That's OK, I don't need any eyes anyway. :P
