Sorry, I thought you made that one and was wondering about the eyes...I guess I will have to hit up the purchasing guys and see if they can make some for me

tested it today looks good...thanks to stan gibbs:cheers:..I ended up putting 2.5 inches of 3/8 tail weights....at 4.1oz it had 1.75 inchs of lead..so it should be really close the the real weight...it floats with 3 inches sticking out(ballpark) of the water

Thanx, I've seen those but they all are made with that prism effect...I want some of those old school dull yellow with the black dot and outside ring.....
