Low_Budget_Hooker Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 where to for eyes guys? Looking for lrg, glass or solid plastic preferably, nothing hollow. I have access to the sourcing dept. at a jewelry design house and I have some sick ones on some of these proto types but I like the "cat" looking ones on a slammer also. Where to? Thanks in advance Quote
Super User flechero Posted July 31, 2008 Super User Posted July 31, 2008 You can find a few styles of doll eyes at a hobby lobby or mj designs type of store. I use doll eyes in some of the flies I tie. Lots of styles and sizes available. -keith Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 Your an excellent resource dude. Thanks. The only eyes I ever used for tying were dumbbells. I looked at A.C. Moore, a craft store, they only had the hollow stick ons that have the eyeball that is separate and bounces all over the inside. Not gonna do it. Hobbytown, next stop. Any others? anything online?

Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted July 31, 2008 Super User Posted July 31, 2008 Russ, contact Matt at Mattlures. He sent me some eyes for a bluegill that was having issues. Not sure where he gets them, but if you can wait (and I remember) I will bring some with me next month. Quote

shorefisher Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 http://www.vandykestaxidermy.com/subcategory/150/Not cheap but check out these? Allen Those are incredible. When I make my swim baits, that's what I'm going to use. Quote
