make the most with what you got

just 15 mins. ago I was looking at some baits and wondered what if I tried this, well it worked, But its not from one mold but 2, (it works with other things to ) you can often do things with molds that they were not made for buy just sitting back and thinking about it. These are going to be Fat head fry ( just stuck on the fry thing I guess ) they are 1.25 inches long and didnt have to spend big bucks to have a mold cut for it. I will be playing with these to see what colors work well. It took 15 minutes from first thought to posting pics so give it a try, whats it going to hurt

there is a lot more you can do with them than what they are made for, on most molds. I understand about supplies. I have 2 orders of eyes in the mail somewhere, the guy has really slow shipping. I went ahead and ordered another order of them today of 20,000 to get a decent price break and make sure I have them when I need them. His 10-14 days shipping just aint going to get it. I am waiting to put stuff on line till I get enough eyes in.

the eyes seem to be v ery expensive to me. I have priced them at a few places and it is not reaonable for me to use them, I will shop around and hopefully find them cheaper.
