Flap....where'd you get those eyes? I've been flirting with getting the purchasing guys at work to print me out a few on there decal printer.

Striper crazy, that looks sweet....you could probably kill somebody with one of those.

Sorry, I thought you made that one and was wondering about the eyes...I guess I will have to hit up the purchasing guys and see if they can make some for me

similar eyes are made by the same company that makes the stick on lure tape
