do you all use the "thumb poppin method, or do you have more creative ways of gettin them perch eyes out?
Personally, I use a rifle casing with a wire in the shape of a spoon that I jam in and caulk! Works like a charm.

thumb works great for me, when the bit is hot, not time to look for "tool"

I just use my handy dandy little pocket knife that I never leave home without. Also that add's a little more taste to the deer bologna when you cut a piece off.

here is another stupid question by me: Why would you pop out their eyes?

archbishop · « **Reply #6 on:** Mar 03, 2005, 10:14 AM »

perch are cannibles you use the eyes as bait

archbishop · « **Reply #7 on:** Mar 03, 2005, 10:15 AM »

there are no stupid questions everyone on here has asked that at somepoint in there lives

I personally just use the ol' thumb method, much faster than putting a paper click around the eye eh?

Gas_Auger · « **Reply #9 on:** Mar 07, 2005, 06:37 AM »

I like them because they never come off the hook when the fish are schooling. Not like live bait!

Not a stupid Question i wanted to know myself thanks for asking

I cut 'em out with a knife,often they're still alive.The fresher the better.

If you do freeze some eyes for later dates on the ice or open water fishing how do the frozen eyes stay on the hook compared to freshly popped eyes?

fishincrazy · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 05, 2005, 06:40 PM »

I use my jig hook, works everytime plus its all ready hooked on the jig afterwards

fishingking · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 06, 2005, 12:08 PM »

ive always used my jig hook makes for less mess dont ever have to touch the eye just twist the hook around the eye then jab the hook into the eye pull and throw down the hole works everytime.

gunnerdk · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 18, 2005, 09:06 AM »

I've always used the hook on the jig. Sometime the eye will break and it won't come out in one piece. I'm going to try this thumb method you guys are talking about this season, sounds like it will stay in one piece alittle better.

settlepa · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 18, 2005, 09:06 PM »

Sorry but I must ask why you do this to the perch eyes? I have never done it thats why I ask.

samson · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 18, 2005, 10:33 PM »

perch are canbalistic so some people use the eyes as bait or to tip their lures, works for me

BuckeyeFisher · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 19, 2005, 12:46 PM »

I had a baggie full of them from last year tucked away in the freezer for this season. Guess who found them this summer when she was cleaning out the freezer? If you want to piss off your wife, leave Perch eyeballs in the freezer.

iceman1603 · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 24, 2006, 08:39 PM »

crowkiller · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 01, 2006, 02:21 PM »

fishinmastah · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 01, 2006, 09:07 PM »

Eider · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 02, 2006, 07:51 PM »

I use the thumb, its just so fast. I usually pop the eye out of the first perch I catch, if I'm somewhere that I know that's an effective bait. Not usually a keeper, so I toss 'em back in the hole, and they swim right away. I figure a pike will be happy to find a perch like that, so its not a total waste. If you think I'm a meanie, look at how we treat those shiners on our tipups.
