- 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.
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 14 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.

New for 2009/2010 Season - LIGHTHOUSE Utility Tower -
We ran across the manufacturer of these fine Lighthouses and my wife fell in love with them. She spent hours searching for
a Lighthouse Mailbox. Prices ranged from $1000 - $1500 for a durable product made to stand up outside for years. We were so
impressed with the many uses for these Lighthouse towers that we're now selling them in our trade show booth and here in our
online store. These Lighthouses are made up of three parts (Top, Middle, Base). You select your color for each part. Then
you can add options like Mailbox/Plant/Hose/Electrical outlets. With their built-in Solar Panel powered lights, they make
outstanding Dock/Yard lights. You can even order an optional rotating light just like a real Lighthouse. The prices on
our website INCLUDE shipping these large boxes to your home if you live in the Continental United States. |
