I agree. A lot of fishing lures are made to catch fishermen.

I read a article a while ago where a guy that poured lead head jigs and sold them was telling that at first he was not painting eyes on the jigs he was selling. The jigs were selling so-so, but a lot of people buying the jigs asked about why he did not paint eyes on the jig heads.

He decided to do a comparison of his jig heads. He fished some of his jig heads without eyes and some he painted eyes on the jig head. He found no difference in the numbers of fish he caught between those with eyes and those without eyes.

But, since customers were asking for jig heads with eyes he decided to make that an option in the jig heads he was selling. He indicated his sales of jig heads with eyes were far greater than the jig heads without eyes.

So his conclusion was that jig heads with eyes were much more important to anglers than it was to the fish.
