MonteSS Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Anyone ever seen like 6-8mm concave plastic eyes. I would like them to go over the built in Bill Lewis Rattle trap eyes or maybe even a Wart. Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 If you can't find something to fit over the molded eyes on a Rat-L-Trap you can always sand them down flush with the body of the bait. Then it's just a matter of gluing on the eye of your choice. A good epoxy top coat will reinforce the glued on eye as well. I do this quite often and have yet to have any eyes torn off while fishing.

21xdc Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Best option is to grind off bulging eye with a file, sandpaper, dremel tool.... Buy the eye size you like from the link I provide and clear coat over... Not sure you can do any better or cheaper. I love some of the 3 color options they have. They look great! http://lisaandedseyes.ipage.com/lure_eyes.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW Lures Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have been tinkering with making eyes. I have using tape, foil, paint etc. One way I have been doing some is taking a cone head drill bit and making a eye socket. Then punching out some eyes just bigger then the socket and pushing them into place. Doing some hand painting for the pupils then putting a small amount of clear over them. This to me gives them a different look. Not sure if it's a good look for others but it's interesting to me, a concave look and I believe a more reflective eye. I have to do a little trimming for now if I use foil or tape. Dale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
