Previously posted (http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=23071.msg957807#msg957807), but here goes ...

I made several 'perch-eye removers' using parts from binder clips and 1/2" dowel. I hone them out using a rotary tool, although not absolutely necessary. It provides some extra-easy slicing action for removing eyes slick and quick ... nice in extreme cold. This unit I painted bright fluorescent so it's easy to find in the snow/ice or anywhere else for that matter. And it floats!

Idahogator:
Just a word of caution to all that follow.     :nono:

Anything used to extract fish eyes should not have a sharp edge ~ You'll lose the most important part, the optic nerve "Dangler", it's the great attracter !      :flex:

IrishnId:
I've taken old aluminum arrows and cut them into 4-5" lengths with one end squared and the other with a tapered angle, and it works great.

HWeber:
Never has a problem pushing them most of the way out with my thumb and taking them out.  Key is to find the spot in the mouth to push with your thumb.

G fish:

Idahogator  lots of good info there. like dangler very important.
