Jig eye help

I'm getting ready to make some flounder jigs. Using 1/2 ounce minnow heads with recessed eye. (Spro style). I made some last year and had issues with eyes staying on. Is there anything I can pop over them to help them stick later.

I use a little dab of super glue around the eye. I have also read about some using clear vinyl jig head paint after the eyes are on to keep them in place.

Attachment 224494 hard to beat.

I put a drop of hard as nails over the eye.

I use DUCO cement and haven't lost an eye off any of my jigs yet

All good advice but I will say flounder will really mess up a jig. After so many it's going to look pretty bad anyway.

I'll admit I have 0 flounder experience!

Put a drop of super glue on something disposable then take a small nail or toothpick or something and dab a tiny bit in the socket. Add eye, press firmly, cover the gaps with either more super glue or nail polish. Haven't lost one yet.

Thanks guys

I super glue them in a sometimes I will put a clear coat of vinyl paint over the whole head including the eyes and you can make it somewhat a think coat and let dry well!

i also have been known to just super glue a tiny spot and then use a bodkin to place some UV glue around it and cure with a UV light and it's dry and set in seconds!

I so want to try Fatman's Duco cement too at some point!

I can't say what to do with eyes, all I know is that 15 minutes of dock shooting will mess up even the best paint jobs that is why I paint a bunch at a time.!!!!!!!!

I use either Sally's hard as nails or clear vinyl, whichever is in reach. Granted I seldom put eyes on my jig heads unless I'm giving some to s friend or I'm in a jig swap. My hands don't do well with small objects anymore meaning I lose more eyes to the vacuum than get mounted. But that's just me getting older!
