2 new ones

heres a pencil with a hollow mouth, with a slug of lead in the butt. its funny. with a 1/0 treble on the back it sits verticle and has a more of a pencil type action. with the 4/0 siwash on there now it sits at about a 45-50 degree angle and pops more, but still has the walking action.

bigfish- those are 3/8" eyes and i drill a 3/8" hole for them. i snip the little plastic do-hingys off the backs and then super glue em in after painting, then epoxy over them.
