Welcome aboard.
don't think I've ever met you, but if you are the sini I have heard of that fishes the outer beaches, well, lets just say, all I've heard is Good of you.

Hope to met you someday.
Of lures and eyes...
All custom & production lures, IMHO, if "fished" will have paint/eye/hardware issues eventually, nature of the beast, especially if you catch fish, or bang rocks with them. One small builder, who sells a few, told me, and I will never forget this, gets a call...
"Dude, I've caught so many fish on that plug I bought from you, the paint is coming off."...
That's a problem???? Loved his answer, he said repeat the first part, JUST the first part of what you said..."You've caught so many fish"....
I remember being upset years ago when the paint came off my rebel windcheaters... till I figured out that the "bone" color was actually better in some circumstances........
