    Default Budget eyebuster


    No more fish hooks, paper clips or nail clippers for me. These things work like a charm on pre-cured heads. I'll have to cure one with paint still in the eye to test it out on at some point.

    I saw these things on a tackle sales site and they wanted about $9 for them. They didn't say what they were, but I figured I could find them if I just did a little digging. I did....

    I've already got them. They work great before you cure them. I haven't tried them on already cured.

    That tackle store was selling them as eyebusters, so I assume they should work on those as well.

    Once one is cured the only way I have been able to get the eye open is heating a wire and running through eye. Those should work great on painted or powder painted before curing. Sure can't beat that price.

    I cleaned about 50 pre-cured heads just last night. Worked like a charm.
