If I can I will usually opt for very large eyes on baits when eyes are requested. This shad bait usually will see 4mm eyes but this morning I stepped out on the infamous limb and went real big while playing with the mold. These are 6mm eyes from Do-It's eye line-up.



On this shad body the eyes fit real nice and make the bait look just plain mad. The overall length of this bait is 3", the body being 1/2 of the overall length. I had to put paper towel across the tails to keep the bodies from rolling with these eyes on them. The eyes used here normally go on my frogs and toads but I'm thinking these eyes work will here too.
