robert giberson Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Hi Guys Thought i'd try my luck at making a couple perch and sucker baits. Hope you guys like them. Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatnik13 Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 What kind of material are you using for eyes? I tryied doll eyes the same type of setting but they tend to pop-out if I'm hitting objects.I've tried to glue and clearcoat but it failed so i printed a eye under the doll eyes so it looks the same if it does pop-out. Thinking of indentations for the doll eye sets. I'm just courious of what kind of eye pattern that is. It would work well with a indentation .

robert giberson Posted January 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 hi boatnik, ,using the animals eyes/doll eyes from lewiscraft, the ones with the stem, i snipped the stem off, sanded the back, used 5 min epoxy then the clear coat, good point you brought up about the eye maybe coming off?? (hope it does not happen!!!) next ones i do will leave the stem attached and drill a hole right through the bait , then fill the holes with 5min epoxy, my thinking is this will allow the eye to be anchored into the wood? what do you think??? if that fails then i will go to your idea and make indents for the eyes and either set them in or paint them in.thanxs for the tip!
