Well, ya see rattboy, first I have to disect them and take them apart to study them. And then and only then I copy them
what else?
I put eyes on everything, bassmaster evens puts eyes on his fishing rod, honestly
ask weewee. You can hide lots of blemishes with stick on eyes, the fish won't know
Plugs that don't have any eyes actually do have eyes but they are just closed at the moment
the fish don't care.
How cold is it in your house? I just froze putting out the trash, I bet they don't even pick it up, gonna be 45 below=wind chill and actual temp of 6 below, that's cold enough to freeze the eyes right off anything, especially slipknot plugs
