Re: Making Fiber Optic Eyes

Just thinking on this subject. I wonder what effect a fiber optic set would have on something like a popper. Drill a hole through the back and set fiber optic piece. It would get lit up from the outdoor light. I am thinking it could be an awesone effect. Might be worth looking further into.

Re: Making Fiber Optic Eyes

How would you go about putting fiber optic eyes in a Rapala DT crankbait? Also where do you buy the materials to do this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Making Fiber Optic Eyes

You would have to drill through the bait very carefully. Being cautious of the clearcoat and precisely lining up the holes for the eyes. Some kind of jig would help. Then premeasure the optic to fit and shape it before you place it in the lure. As for the materials, there should be a link in the tutorial. Get the phone # from the site and call them. They are very helpful. Hope this helps a little.
