The orange eyes look nice although they don't appear to be glow in the dark, phosphorescent eyes. I just bought three packs, might as well stock up. Going to need a bigger box for the eyes soon. The chartreuse and pink colors are nice but don't glow under a black light. I would love to see some fluorescent colors in 3mm and 4mm. A Fl. yellow and fl.pink would be a killer and glow in the dark in 3 and 4mm would be a hit here I'm sure.

Wang-
Are you going to be getting any others in the oblong??(oblong pupil)
The silver gold color could be called "tri-colored silver and gold"

The factory did send me some other kinds of these tri-colored eyes, such as red/white/black, but I don't think they are nice looking...anyway, if customers like, I may get them later. Theoretically, the factory can make any color, just indicate.............

Here is another kind of eyes, please see the pic, nomally it shows green, but when you change position, it can turn to another color, I don't know how to call them either..........
I think the red/white/black would do good. I know what you mean. Some of the tri-color ones I have seen don't look quite right, but the one you listed looks great.
The one in the pic looks irredescent, would it have a pupil?

They look like insect eyes to me. Insect eyes change colors when you look at them from different angles. I'm sure they'd look great on a dragonfly or damselfly imitation.

Yes, it's iridescent, and has no pupil.

The factory told me that this orange is called fluorescent orange, but it can't glow in dark. ( I guess it just because this color is very bright). I didn't name it fluorescent orange in eBay cause I don't want to cause misunderstanding.

There are glow in dark eyes, they are phosphorescent, here is the pic when the eyes in dark...

The factory will make 4mm glow in dark eyes next week, I will get them 2-3 weeks later..........if 4mm goes well, I will then do other sizes.

I lost Sam's email so I thought a post here might get to him. Sam, do you think you can help Bucho out with some LARGE beads? Here's his post...

Bucho said:
Hi!

I want to build some very large boolies for some guys traveling to norway. Large pollock, coalies, massive cod, halibut and the like. Halibut plastic jigs sell at 12-25€ each b.t.w...
Got the mold, the hooks, even the props, but brass beads that pass over an 8/0-12/0 VMC barbarian is nothing you find in a fly fishing shop.
With 4-8 weeks of shipping there´s no time for try and error at jann`s etc. too. They usually only display the outer diameter, most of the stuff is supposed to fit on thin wire.

You guys have any idea where to get anything that would pass over such a hook and restist a propeller? doesn´t have to be pretty, its all about experimenting.

Got some thick wired 6/0 Eagle Claws, too, would be better than nothing.

I don't know if I can post email address in the thread, so I PM to you Pepop, thanks for your trust, but I even have not ever seen these so big hooks.....:blush:

If Bucho has the size of the beads, I can ask the factory, but I am a little worried that they don't have so big beads mold, produce new mold and new size beads may need quite a few money......

BUT, I did know there are some other kinds of brass beads, mainly for necklace...many big sizes, such as the pic below.

If they fit? I guess the hole is too small to pass through the hook bend..

I´ll start with the steel rings for this summer´s field testing and will consider a cheaper, better looking brass beat solution in the long run.

Thanks for the help!
