Smallie Hunter Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Does it really matter if a swim jig has eyes on it? Whats your opinion Quote
Super User Munkin Posted September 5, 2015 Super User Posted September 5, 2015 It is a confidence thing and honestly I think it helps. Allen 2 Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted September 5, 2015 Super User Posted September 5, 2015 Maybe if they reflect light,But i dont think that jig wants to see whats gonna happen to him any way. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 5, 2015 Global Moderator Posted September 5, 2015 Nope, I can't catch fish with them either way Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 5, 2015 Super User Posted September 5, 2015 No, but eyes look cool! Quote
FinCulture Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 No, unless they maybe reflect light like bowhunter63 said. Either way, I love swim jigs! Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted September 5, 2015 Super User Posted September 5, 2015 I prefer them with eyes in clear water. They have various colors for eyes as well. They probably don't improve my catch rate dramtically. Also they look weird without them especially when you buy a jig that has the eye indentations there but no eye. 1 Quote
Super User Deleted account Posted September 5, 2015 Super User Posted September 5, 2015 Makes a huge difference, to the guy trying to sell them. I find the more beat up a swim jig gets, the better it catches, bare heads, and about 20 raged strands is the sweet spot. 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted September 5, 2015 Super User Posted September 5, 2015 If you catch 12 fish with a swim jig without eyes then how do you know you would not have caught 13 if it did have eyes. They cant hurt . Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted September 5, 2015 Super User Posted September 5, 2015 I have a hard time fishing them without. Confidence thing. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted September 5, 2015 Global Moderator Posted September 5, 2015 You can always paint them on yourself if you think it will help. A friend of mine uses finger nail polish. Mike Quote
Lendiesel22 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I love swim jigs, i have never used on without eyes and i spank em on it. Caught several today on SJs......Makes me wonder though. Next outing i will have one without eyes. If they rock it like they do with eyes i am in lol. I rolled a dirty jigs 5/16th over a log earlier today and one charged out and pasted it in full view.....AWESOME Quote
