I like the retro eyes from some plugs and the doll eyes like what beach master uses on others.

Cape cod tackle has a good selection

Lisa and Ed's, online probably has the biggest and most options.

I use some real glass taxidermy eyes that I get from wood chip shop online, not cheap but amazing. Last set i bought was 16 bucks, but those will go on a special plug.

3/8 or 9mm is the size I use the most, then some 1/2" on bigger stuff.

I use these 2 size eyes myself most often but I do have some smaller sets for real small plugs. Its all just personal preference. Now that I think of it, half of my better catches last year were on 'blind' plugs.

Same here, blind wood was king last season.
