But, since most of my Crappie fishing is cast/retrieve, shoot/retrieve, or Vertical Casting .... I think the motion of the jig, or jig body, is what gets their attention. And, for the most part, I use unpainted jigheads ... no color, except the silver/grey of the lead ... and no eyes ... and I still catch fish.
It would be a hard thing to positively prove whether eyes are all that important ... so, maybe letting personal choice & confidence be the guiding factor would be the best scenario ... and we'll all catch fish on them, eyes or no eyes

CP,
What is the difference between vertical jigging and vertical casting? Forgive my ignorance, but I thought they were one in the same.
