Got some materials today glow powder paints and chenille's.
I bought 1700 5mm 3d domed holographic eyes on ebay.
Should have gotten some 3mm. Think they're too big?
these are 1/8oz heads.

Just my opinion but I think when it comes to eyes the bigger the better.
Not at all. Just right IMO. Most baitfish have huge eyes!
I think they are just right buddy.

Look good to me
Any smaller you may need 4mm or 3mm, but for these it seems fine to me!

Look good to me. I wouldn't want them any smaller on that size jig.
I appreciate the feedback. I'm gonna try some this morning.

I agree. Go big or go home! I think they look great!
They look fine. In my honest opinion, eyes on jigs are mainly for the fisherman and jig looks. I have caught just as many crappie on non eye heads as I have on ones with eyes. It does make the jig look better in MHO too though but I can do without them if need be.
On a similar question. I also have some eyes for my jigs. What is the best way to put them on and have them stay in place?
On a round head I flatten the area with needle nose pliers. I use an exacto blade to lift the eye then lay it on the jig head .Quote:

They look great to me too. IMHO 3mm would be too small on 1/8th ounce.
Eyes don't stay to well with just the glue on the back. I've heard epoxy is the best method, but a pain to use. I use superglue gel. I like it because it's ready right away and doesn't run all over the place. Dab a tiny drop in the eye socket and use a toothpick or exacto to transfer the eyes. Then paint over it with clear nail polish to seal the edges.
I put a coat of finger nail hardener on last.
