LunkerPunker Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I have doll eyes and all the wtp eyes. I am searching for the eyes that have the more defined pupils and iris in them. A goo example would be the river 2 sea lure eyes or the eyes used on the mattlures bluegill. Any advice is sincerely appreciated! Thanx!

silverdoctor Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I've been using eyes available at fly tying supply houses; they are similar to lucky craft but not quite the quality. white, yellow or red; hemispherical in various sizes. while they have an adhesive, I use super glue to hold secure until epoxy coating applied. Orvis has some; expensive. Kaufmann in the north east and others. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Those eyes look relly nice but man aren't they exspensive. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Yeah, they do look killer, but $2 set is steep! I would think that melting the plastic a little, by heating a metal rod up, touching it the the bait, then sticking the eye on, or soft bait glue would work to affix the eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I was looking at the smallmouth eyes at almost $7 a pair. wow www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurerookie Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I found some a couple of months ago at BPS that look very much like the ones on Lucky Craft lures, but I haven't seen them in the catalog. Not sure if they are available online or not. Similar to the ones at Orvis and othe fly shops, but less expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castmaster Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 i just use the bird eyes, specialty eyes or woodcarvers eyes. a little less expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
