Messing with the eyeballs.

I wanted to put a dot on the tail of my Crappie slipper well I didn't quite work out that way I put the eyeball on the center of the tail when I injected it it pushed the eyeball all the way to the tail well it made it look kind of neat looking I thought I would share with you guys I wanted a solid color but I did not put a Black pupil in a white or something like that but anyway here's a picture.

Those are pretty neat and I would fish them for sure to see, might actually be a good fish catcher.

Pretty neat buddy

Auto correct makes for interesting descriptors, eh? That dot on the end is like a hot spot on a fly.

Save me some of those white ones with the red tail eye for my order tomorrow Bob!

No problem they are waiting for you.

Thanks Bob. I'll order 10 of the chartreuse with black tail eye also.

Very interesting. Necessity and mistakes are the mother of inventions.

Just wondering if air brushing an eye on would work?

I thought about getting into airbrushing many times there’s so many wonderful things you can do I’ve seen some of the guys make some beautiful stuff with an airbrushThe answer to your question is yes you can do eyeballs with the airbrush

Bob, these eyeballs are very interesting. I wonder if anyone has thought about just fishing an eyeball on a bare #6 hook? Gills and Crappie just might be in a slurping mood. Just thinking outside of the box here. Put a little slab sauce on them and see what happens. I'll bet some poor old Gill or Crappie might think it is a perch eye "G" and take a bite of it.

Sounds like a good ideal Mike I’ve never thought about fishing eyeballs I know years ago that we used to take their eyeballs out of crappie and fish with them.


Mike did you get the package I sent to you with some eyeballs.

I did Bob. Thank you. That is why I posted yesterday. I was playing with the eyeballs and experimenting how I would use them.

We used to catch yellow perch with real fish eyeballs when I lived in Washington state... they will bite anything

Yep, they even made a tool so you could scoop the eyeball out without popping g it. Never thought to try it on crappies or bluegills.

Interesting!

Bob, when I first saw the photo without reading anything about the eye idea, I thought - tail tab. That by itself would be a new and unique tail action that would attract attention and maybe put out some extra vibration as it wags all over the place. No need for any difference in color from the body or a dot IMO.
Some of my best discoveries have been by accident resulting in shape & action combinations I would have never imagined.

I haven’t had a chance to throw those out yet and I wanted to make some more with different colors I’m dying to find out what they will be like in Texas we will be looking out quite a few different places I will be looking out for the major Lakes in Texas Toledo Sam reborn lake Livingston .

You used to be at Toledo Bend

When you make more Bob, make some of same color front-to-tail. Tail contrast is at times a good thing but most times I've found lure action, color contrast overall to surroundings and the lure's shape activate the strike. Fish don't know an eye from a broomstick but do detect lure contrasts of any kind. Bet it would do well under an overhead spinner. (Beetle)
