assortment of eyes

Recommended Posts

Love the forum, been getting so much help here! Had a quick question.  Do any of the vendors carry some kind of assortment of eyes in different colors and styles? Im still learning, and it seems like getting a decent assortment of colors and sizes without ordering several hundred of each would be perfect.

Well that solves my eye problem, thank you!

 

You are welcome.

This is their only business so they keep the inventory stocked.

Ed is easy to get on the phone, and a good guy to talk to.

Check Lisa & Ed's eyes.

You can order small quantities, lots of sizes and quick shipping.

They are one of our vendors.

 

Nice looking eyes, great prices. 

Makes me think that I could stop making my own for sure.  Thanks from all of us.

I get the 3d stick on eyes for streamers, bucktails and lures.

I use Loctite gel in the blue bottle to firmly attach. The adhesive is not good on any stick on eye, doesn't matter who sells them.

Because Lisa & Ed's also offer a large variety of color and size in eyes with posts.

 I thought i'd try some on lures and flies next time I order.

The price is right, worth a try for sure.

Anyone have any advice on what sizes come up the most? I was thinking of getting every color in 4.5mm and 6mm and then get a single color of 4mm 5mm 5.5mm 6.5mm to fill in the gaps. On the single colors was thinking of going with silver gold black. 

I can't remember if I have run across many eyes bigger than that, except maybe on the spook KO's 

 

I have ordered a bunch of baits I haven't seen yet from avid, predator, cedar etc so I would rather have a variety, and not all the manufacturers list eye size. 

 

Open to hearing others ideas, most commonly used sizes etc. 

 

BTW thanks TU for all the help! My bait painting has gone ridiculously smoother than I had anticipated and I certainly owe a great deal to this forum.

Anybody know of a source for BIG eyes, not in Hawaii?

Thanks.

I'm with Mark, not sure how big is big.  

Lisa & Ed's eyes should have you covered.

http://lisaandedseyes.ipage.com

3D Lure Eyes: 2mm (5/64) to 15mm (19/32)

3D Animal Eyes: 4.5mm (3/16) to 30mm (1-3/16)

Listed as animal eyes, but are used on lures and flies.
