The other flies I've used that had eyes on them had the eyes fall off the first time I used the fly. Kept using the fly anyway and they still caught fish. I have a few one eyed minnow patterns in my collection.

Basically, why do the work of putting them on if they are going to fall off anyway and they don't make a difference.

Now you need to get that 3 inch Producto pearl spring grub pattern done.

Without, it wont make a difference either way.
You can never fish the same river twice, by the time you get back it's not the same river.

Or keep for for the rattle noise..do they move and hit the sides?
the bigger eye does resemble a shad.
I typically haven't used those buggle eyes.

Looks good.
