Sorry for not posting more often . I'm getting decrepit in my old age and before my time .
So I got tired of stick on eyes not staying stuck . I reeeealy! hate dipping a bait just to keep eyes on .
After getting involved in making some young ladies fishing tackle ear rings I had an epiphany .
It occured to me that earring studs could be used to attach eyes to plastics . I ordered a bunch . Then epoxied the eye to the flat of the stud . Bent a hook on the opposite end . When they were dried I put a dab of super glue on the hook and jambed it into the plastic . I caught a dozen fish ranging from a 1/4 lb to 1 3/4 lb . The eyes are still in the lure . What do you fellows think of this.
You and I can make a positive difference in someones life every day if only for a moment.
