[QUOTE=Smellfish]Hello,
I feel that eyes on a top water plug are effective if the are placed in the proper location. Most top water plugs ride/swim with the back end of the plug in the water and therefore eyes placed rearward will be noticed by the fish and they will target that area during a strike.

Been saying this for yrs.My Pencils when I make em have the eye in the rear.People think of em as squid plugs.But if u hold it from the middle u will see they ressemble the nose of a bunker.Fish don't know what direction its going in.they just eat it.
