FAQ

What are Glasseye Lures made out of? 

Our unique lures are made out of glass, not an acrylic or resin, 100% glass. This gives them some great advantages in casting distance, lower density for a slower sink and transparency.

Do they break easily? 

The compressive strength of glass is extremely high: 1000 N/mm2 = 1000 MPa. This means that to shatter a 1cm cube of glass, it requires a load of some 10 tonnes. In non-scientific terms, no they won't break easily at all and after a year of product testing and casting into rock walls we have yet to break or shatter even one!

If you're still concerned, as a final safety measure, all Glasseye Lures are protected with a soft resin shell on their outside, to further assist with longevity and impact resistance!

How do you fish Ob-a-ke?

We typically fish Ob-a-ke in a very similar fashion to a soft plastic lure. We cast out and allow them to sink, then retrieved with a series of hops, double hops, twitches and lifts. It can also be fished the same way as a slow jig, dropped vertically underneath the boat and to the desired depth and then slowly lifted up and down as you drift through bait schools or over structures such as reefs, wrecks & pinnacles.

 How often are Glasseye Lures available?

We currently operate in drops and will make our lures available every 3 weeks or so. You can keep updated by subscribing to our VIP mailing list and also get early access on new products and re-stocks. The announcement bar on our home page will also give you updates.
