Re: repalcing eyes
Those look like 5/16" or 3/8" eyes. Measure the one you have, go to Stamina and look at their 3D eyes. If they have one that's close, I'm sure the bass won't know the difference. You can set them in 5min epoxy, and coat them in it, too. Thin the epoxy a little with alcohol, use a tooth pick to put it on a drop at a time. If you can mask off the head first, it will make it easier to keep the epoxy from making a mess, because you can wipe off any runs with alcohol. I know 5 min yellows a little, but I wouldn't want to have to watch the thing for two hours, and I don't think it will yellow enough to affect the lure's fishability.
I live in Los Angeles. I woke up this morning at 5:00 and there was this wet stuff falling from the sky. It's been so long since it rained here, I don't remember what it looks like anymore. Mostly, we've been getting ash from our fires. For a while, my trucks and car looked like something from Pompei. At least now I won't have to wash them!

You might want to check with where you got the lure or if Giron has a site in the US...for those bucks that should be replaced...
Just got one myself in Ghost Bluegill...probably chunk it some tomorrow..
