Jig Man Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I finally came up with a system for installing my 2mm eyes and have several hundred on. Now I am getting ready to put the 4.5s on my Poison Tail jigs. They are a perfect match for the recessed eye socket. They also have a lot more adhesive than the 2mm ones. If I put a dab of superglue in the socket then the 4.5 mm eye do you think that will suffice or do I need to epoxy them to keep them on. I don't want to put several hundred on with the superglue if I have to go back and epoxy over them to keep them on the jig heads. What are you guys doing?

Basseducer Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Jig Man, I super glue them on and go over the head with 2T. I haven't tried fishing them with just the super glue. I haven't had any issues yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I use D2T to seal them up and I don't use super glue on them. The only eyes I use the glue for are some 1/8" diameter eyes I got cheap and the adhesive is bad so I have to glue them on but using WTP eyes I just stick them on and then seal with epoxy.

smallmouthaholic Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Brush some Sally Hanson's "Hard as Nails" over the eyes.Short,sweet and simple w/ no mixing required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Maxwell Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I most always go over with D2T and I usually add glitter to it. Fancys them up a bit. Don't use any super glue. Just stick them on then coat. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
