When I've asked the fish they slap there foreheads and say "I thought those were fins"

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

I think "back in the day", if eyes weren't available, eyes weren't installed. On the flip-side, I think in this day and age, it's just a way to offer a slightly different model of a plug you already have bodies for ..one more way to corner the market

....it's just another reason to have more plugs tooo....

"yeah, I have some BM Dannys .... some with eyes, some without" -


I don't think they make much of a catching difference, unless you're counting fishermen of course ...

In saying that, If I'm looking to imitate a baitfish, obviously...I would prefer them to have eyes.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
