Location: West Virginia | Should I get the .072" closed screw eyes or the .092" for 5" jerk baits. The screw eyes will be 3/4 in length if that makes a difference. |

Location: West Virginia | I've used both. What kind of wood are you using? If you are using a hard wood I think you are fine but the 3/4" is a little short for my liking. I like to use the 1.5" if at all possible. |

Location: Glen Ellyn Il | I also think that the 3/4 is to short, also make sure you understand how they determine the length of the screw, the 3/4 dimension is over all length, that includes the screw head, I made that mistake when I first started building baits

Location: West Virginia | I am building the lures off of the mini appealers. I was going to use hardwood, but I am sure they used a softwood. And I am sure the middle hook is 3/4. I will bull the other two to verify. |
