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!!!!

[smalljaw]

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

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.

Here is the finished product.
