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.

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.
