We catch thousands of stripers each year on soft plastics on unpainted jig heads or metals. The action and color of the lures are what seem to matter. 

Forgot about Metal!  That's right, Hopkins-Kastmaster-PT Judith, Charlie Graves, all together caught billions of fish....No eyes.

And none of any of this can be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt.

That beautiful pencil Buckscorider posted. It’s a pencil. Spends the majority

of the time out of the water, or at least the water line.

Those big eyes did their job. 

And it’s way to pretty to have some gorilla blue shred it. LOL

Hopefully we will see gorilla blues again in the surf.

I'm late here - it's going to take a lot of convincing to get me to think that they matter - 99% of my fishing is done at night. Then, throw in some wave action/white water and a little murk and it's even less likely.

Most often predators attack prey in the head , because the head is easier to target /and hold/ then tail . Head is most stable /less movement and sudden change of direction/ part of running away prey to target . Predator swallow prey from head  .....  Why many fish have fake  eyes on tail side ?

Not necessarily, fish that bite/chop will attack from the rear, think bluefish. Fish that 'grab' their prey will attack more from the front, like stripers.

if you think that eyes matter than buy plugs and other lures that have eyes.i don't put eyes on most of the plugs i build for myself,and most of my plastic plugs i repaint and the eyes are hidden by paint,i have total confidence that if there are fish to be caught and people are catching fish my eyeless plugs will catch as many if not more than others
