    Question While painting some cranks, I had bought some eyes to use on some of the


    baits that I pulled the stick on eyes off of and decided I would try a few of them on a 1/4oz round jig head that was flattened on each side. It has been so long since I bought the eyes I cant remember the size that works best for these jig heads. I looked all over the remaining sheets of eyes I have and can not find a size. I think that I used the 3mm and 5mm but I really cant remember. I was hoping some of you fella's might could help me out on finding the size so I can order some more. I currently have the 3D ones but would like to get some that are just stick on flat and then I epoxy over them for durability purposes. Any and all help greatly appreciated

    I usually get mine from ebay for flat eyes (can typically get free shipping on those) or Bog Baits for 3d eyes.

    For a 1/4 oz jig you would want the 4 or 5mm eyes. The 3 works well on 1/32, 1/16 and looks OK on the 1/8.
