stephen Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 So I have my hard plastic master ready for molding. I was at a fly shop yesterday and noticed that they have metal barbell eyes that you can place a sticker type eye on. I was wondering if anybody uses this set up. Being that my master is hard plastic all i have to do is take a dremmel tool and groove a vee on both sides. when the plastic is cool punch a hole through the center and install it. searched this site and didn't see any info on barbell eyes....Several years ago Cabelas made a soft plastic jerkbait with barbell eyes. the eye itself looks like the sticker type you can find anywhere it is attached with a straight (not vee cupped) shaft to the back of the other eye....anybody know what I'm talking about...know where to get them.....thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are advertisers here. The eyes they sell have a stem on them although they are not connected to each other. This may work for the application you are thinking about. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Barlow's has some barbell eyes...any fly tying supply place will have them. barbell eyes My only concern would be with them interfering with the hook. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
