Coley Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 I have one heck of a time trying to paint eyes. What ever I am using will to paint with will slip and make a mess. So, I have figured out a way to make my own stick on eyes with a hole punch and plastic colored tape. You can buy hole punches up to 2" in dia. All we need here is a 3/8" , a 1/4" and a 1/8" and in some cases maybe a 1/2". Plastic tape comes in many different colors. So you can see you can make the eye one color and the pupil another. Stick them together and stick them on the bait. so simple. Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrs5kprs Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Try using the erasers on cheap wooden pencils. Sand them down to the diameters you want and dot away. Also works for shad spots, rogue eyes, etc. Pic attached shows results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
