351mustang65 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Anyone know where I can find solid color lure eyes like the ones in this bait? http://www.aliexpress.com/item-img/Whole-sale-12pcs-lot-minnow-fishing-lures-11-5cm-22g-color-box-packing-accept-paypal-Japan/487705206.html I found some in silver and in black but would like to find a lot more different colors and sizes.

Fish and Whistle Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Any craft store in the scapbooking/card making section. They have all different kinds of adhesive bling that can be used as eyes. I have found some really cool iridescent ones that make great walleye eyes. Michaels / JoAnns Fabrics (I get weird looks in here buying rhinestone stickers, fishnet fabrics and wedding vails) / Hobby Lobby...any place like that http://www.joann.com/me-my-big-ideas-rhinestone-stickers-96pk-many-colors/xprd1025096/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Look for round cabs in the size you need. http://www.ebay.com/sch/condan/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim45498 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I take a couple of the 3D eyes, lay them on wax paper, paint them the color I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) You take clear hotmelt glue(the small sticks) with the little melt gun. Parchment paper or something that the glue will not readily stick to. Make a bunch of drops of glue at the size you require. After the glue cools lift the eyes you want to use then paint the flat side with permanent marker. There is your "smokey eyes". That's how I make the eyes for "Buzz the Mouse". Check the gallery to see the effect. www.novalures.com Edited November 19, 2012 by nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 They make all kinds of holographic foil as well. Find a hole punch the same size as the eyes your wanting and cut circles out of the holographic foil to use on the back of a clear eye.
