After the plugs are painted you may wish to give them a more complete look by adding eyes, although eyes are not necessary to catch fish. Most store-bought plugs have glass eyes. These are similar to the eves used by taxidermists and can be obtained from them. They are mounted on wire which is clipped off with cutting pliers, leaving a short length of wire of about in. long. Then drill holes in the plug, put in some quick-drying cement, and insert the glass eyes into the holes. You can also paint the eyes with a small, pointed brush or dab them on with a flat head nail dipped in yellow paint. After the yellow dries use a smaller flat head nail dipped in black to apply the pupil of the eye. See Fig. 18. Figure 18. Using a flat-head nail to paint eyes on a plug.
