Thread: Eye Painting Tools

55 years that I’ve been fishing for Crappie And before they head fancy Jigs on the market they didn’t have eyeballs was many years after I started fishing for Croppie did I ever see eyeballs on a jig personally I think they look better the jigs with eyeballs on them and of course I’d like to have a nice looking jig when I go out fishing not only that but it looks a lot better to the public for when I make them up for the public but for many years that I fish with jigs I have caught mini mini fish with without eyeballs .

Not perfect, but works fast and the end result is good.

I lay all the jigs flat on table, then dab paint off of paper plate. Can work really fast. Wait about an hour between coats and then flip over.

MY last batch was 300 jigs, so that was painting 1200 eyes. I opted for speed over high accuracy

Good luck!
