Very nice eyes,Len.Looks like drill bits work just fine.What kind of paint do you use? I use vinyl jig paint for eyes with assorted size nail heads tapped into 1/4 inch dowel rods.I was painting eyes on jigs for about 20 years, before I started tying.I believe eyes make a difference in some situations like clear water,glow eyes for muddy or deep water. Tying jigs is an art,why not make them look as reallistic as possible and include eyes.All baitfish have eyes and so do most of my jigs. Maybe I need to switch to acrylics,avoid the fumes of the vinyl.It's probably killed some brain cells and I don't have too many left.
