The tool I showed the other day in a picture clears the eyes ok but those little red eye popper jobs are worthless.
The best way I've found to clear eyes is either to blow them clear while the jig is still warm. If needing to clear after the jig has cooled, just reheat the eye a little and blow it clear. (When I say blow it clear, imagine yourself as a little kid with bubble wand.) Although this may not work for panfish jigs, it is no problem on bass jigs.
