go big on the eyes

That top one is awesome for sure. Looks like real gills.

That's light reflecting off the mold after it has gone thru the eye on that down side. I'd sure like to be able to do that with plastic though.

You have some awesome soft baits that really catch the fisherman's eyes. If you ever decide to give green over chart with red bottoms a shot, I check daily
to look at your work and would be happy to purchase some. Red or gold eyes, don't matter which. I can't get enough of the "watermelon wine" look. The
combo I designed for BGBS did not have eyes, and I like eyes.
