11/1/2008 - Resellers - we are now represented nationally
by The Hanson Group (www.hansongroup.net) to provide better service to our current and future customers - Tight Lines.
9/23/2008
- for 2009, our FREE SHIPPING offer is on any order $50 or more. Also, our Blackfin chains now sport a Mustad Ultra Point.
We've upgraded from the 9175 as big Yellowfin Tuna like these small chains and some hooks were getting straightened. Not any
more. Largest YFT caught on a Blackfin chain for the 2008 season - 112lbs!
If you want something custom you don't see
on the site, PLEASE email us at dbteam@mindspring.com. Email is the best way to reach us as most of the time, we're out in
the field somewhere. It can be very frustating to reach me by phone. However, I do return emails and faxes in the evenings.
We have tried to put most of our products on this site, but it changes often. Most of them have been designed and
tested by you, our customers. As many of you know, the tackle industry is extremely competitive. To keep our prices where
they are, we mfg. a majority of our lure heads overseas. We mfg. our own invention, the screw-in hair skirts, here in the
United States. Our vinyl skirts come from South Africa. We could buy them a LOT cheaper in China, but that Abalone shimmer
finish just doesn't hold up with the Asian product. Plus, many of you have told us the South African skirts have more flutter/action
in the water. All our assembly and packaging is done Stateside.
As many of you are noticing, prices are rising on
many items. We strive to be the best value in a quality fishing lure for the saltwater enthusiast. However, some of our products
have had price increases.
Draggin Eyes Lures offers the offshore fisherman the most versatile line of Trolling lures
in the world today. We cut our teeth in this industry with Charter Captains whose very living depends on the scream of the
drag. For this reason, we are proud to announce our new GUIDE programs for the professionals in our industry.
Fishermen
can buy Draggin Eyes in many ways:
1)Heads Only - for the "Build your own custom lure" anglers. We have 15 Chrome/Brass
Head Shapes, 2 Aluminum
2) Skirted - with our own invention - the screw-in Hair Skirts or with our South African
vinyl skirts with shimmering Abalone style finish. 3/15/08 - Check out our new "Lee Flasher", designed by a mate the Gulf
for those
bruiser YFT's.
3) Rigged and ready to fish - Thanks to our charter captains, they've developed for us
some good basic rigs that WORK. They are featured under "Rigged Draggins" and under "Daisy Chains" 3/14/08 - Check out our
new WAHOO CHAINS as designed by Gulf Coast Captains.
Another suggestion from our customers was to add Mylar Strips
to our lures. Starting in September 2007, all Medium/Large sized Draggin Eyes lures ordered with hair or Vinyl skirts from
our website will come with a Mylar Strip. Starting November, 2008, all our large/jumbo series will have available Mylar enhancements.

Our Invention - The Screw-in Hair skirts. We stock
all the popular color patterns. Whether you like to skirt your bait with Vinyl or Hair Skirts, Draggin Eyes has the skirt
material, color pattern and head shape for every fishing situation. We make products to catch every Pelagic from a Peanut
to a Grander and we run a very LEAN operation so our prices are excellent.

We originally designed our Mini High Speed to be double
green skirted so our "Green Draggin" would offer anglers a replaceable skirt system for the "Green Machine" enthusiasts. Once
again, our Charter Captains let me know what a deadly rig this was in front of a Select Ballyhoo, both on top, on the downrigger
or at the end of an inline planer setup. The Wahoo Slayers became a big hit in 2007 and we're almost out of stock but we have
started new production so will have some more by January 2008.

We use the Aurora finished skirts from South Africa.
These vinyl skirt have an Abalone shell type finish baked in which give these skirts extra luster and shine. For our Australian
anglers "Down Under", all our lures are DOUBLE skirted. There are much cheaper skirts available in Asia, but they just don't
look as nice. We use a 3" mini skirt on our .3/.6oz heads. These skirts are glued on. For our 1.2/2oz series we use a single
6" skirt. On our 3oz. we use a single skirt unless a double skirt is requested. With our 6" skirts, we stock most popular
colors.
