lurecarver23 Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Hi everyone, i was wondering if someone could help me find out where i can buy glass eyes, such as the ones use in older fishing lures. If anyone can help me out it would be helpful. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legendary Lures Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 You can make a decent replica of the old-style CCBCo. eyes like this: Make an eye socket by drilling a shallow hole. Drill a tiny hole in the bottom of the eye socket. Paint the heads on some plastic head straightpins. Push a cutoff straightpin into the tiny hole. Fill the eye socket with 5 minute epoxy glue. Rotate the lure for a few minutes until the glue sets up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
