I started out using LIsa's 3.5mm eyes on do-its 1/16oz minnow head.(Actual weight is 1/12 on these). Love the 3.5mm size and they stuck fine. So i knocked those out and went to the 1/32 minnows. Grabbed the 3mm eyes and pretty much had to scrape them off the backing paper! Would not stick to a jighead for anything. Ha ive got eyes all over the rug in the living room. I was watching June and trying to put eyes on. I couldnt let the nail polish brush touch the eye or it would wipe the eye off. Also the eyes arent very 3d... Might as well used flat eyes instead of those 3mm. The 3mm was the only size that i had probs with though.

While im complaining ... NVM i'll leave mustang out of this one.:)

Dang it.... I just ordered a bunch from Lisa... 3mm and 5mm ... I guess I'll see them next week when I get home... I love the Bog's eyes... But saw these were cheaper... Live and learn.

Well, I went to check out bogs, needed some more eyes along with some smaller eyes for my new minnow mold. Bog is now charging $14.00 per 500 for the 4 mm... Thats quite a jump from the last time i ordered......

Me & baitmaster have been getting some of the small eyes off of eBay. Haven't had any problems. Even had a special order of 10k 3mm glow eyes made.

Not sure why Bogs keeps bumping up the price.....
