2) can't use them on smaller baits or they tear the plastic (above 1 oz ers)
3) eyes fall off so not real necessary
he uses a great sharp hook though. I'd be interested in whatever you can make especially if these improvements are Inc.

Yeah. I am working on the hook size issue. I think there needs to be one hook for small lures and another hook for bigger lures.
As far as the eyes, I think they're all going to fall off. A jig heads gets a lot of abuse. Trolling baits eyes last a long time but not if you jigged them like you do a jighead (trust me)
I am clear coating the lures after I put on the eyes, and that helps, but, again these things just get used and abused until they're lost on the bottom.
I am going to make up a few prototypes and see how you all like them.
