| FTZR 372 Pearl/Green Back/Red Chin DOA-0024-2 | D.O.A. TerrorEyz Original 3 per Pack | 1/4 oz. | Red | 372 Pearl/Green Back/Red Chin | $4.99 USD | ||||||
The DOA TerrorEyz Lure is the world's first lure that makes eye contact with fish. The special Holographic Eyes make fish attack because the eyes shoot out flashes of reflected light. The hidden lead head hook design makes the lure swim correctly every time and the attacking fish never feels the hard head. Surrounded by the super strong soft plastic vinyl body, the lead head hook is snag proof. The nose of the lure bounces off the rocks and other submerged structures.
The TerrorEyz imitates a minnow in the water; it will catch any fish that will eat a live minnow, such as snook, trout, walleye, redfish, tarpon, flounder, cat fish, pompano, large mount bass, stripers, ladyfish, bluefish, white bass, rooster fish, dorado and spanish mackerel.

Fishing the DOA TerrorEyz
The way the TerrorEyz is designed it will start to vibrate and create a swimming motion as you retrieve it. The Terroreyz is best fished in four feet of water or more. If you fish it in shallow water you will have to retrieve it fast to stop it from snagging on the grass.
If you are standing on a dock, fishing pier, sea wall or in a boat, cast the Terroreyz and let it fall to the bottom. Then start a steady retrieve with a slight twitch retrieve – twitch retrieve. This will give the lure the action it needs to attract fish.
If you are fishing under a bridge where there is a swift current, tie off to one of the pilings if you are allowed or anchor as close to the bridge as you can. The ideal situation is to slow your drift with a trolling motor. Whichever method you use, cast up current and let the TerrorEyz fall to the bottom, taking in just enough line to keep the slack out of your line. Let the current take the lure past the boat all the while you are bouncing the lure on the bottom. As the lure passes the boat and moves to the back of the boat you will have to let some line out to keep the lure on the bottom. Remember to keep the lure bouncing the bottom all during this operation.
If you are fishing for tarpon with the Terroreyz, the key is to cast the lure just in front of rolling tarpon and let the lure fall with the fish. This method of tarpon fishing works with all DOA lures.

It catches fish

This lure doesn't requires special action, just cast it , let it sink and retrieve slowly with some pauses. It will do its job.

Really needs to be worked for action
March 31, 2020
In order to give this lure any action at all it needs to be constantly twitched and worked. When you get it down though you can produce a pretty solid action. I do not like the enlarged eyes on this bait as I think they decrease bites, but for the price this is a pretty good bait
Pros
- durable
- cheap
Cons
- eyes are too big
- needs to be constantly twitched

No Good
March 29, 2020
I bought this lure a few years back for trip to florida because I love the DOA shrimp, but I did not like this lure. This lure has no action, a weird shape and the oversized eyes decrease bites.
Cons
- No action
- weird profile
- eyes are too big

No action
February 13, 2020
This lure has no action, maybe I am doing something wrong but it should come with instructions if thats the case. No matter how I work it, it doesn't look realistic at all and nothing has bitten it yet. I will update if that changes but with no instructions Im not having any luck with the techniques that I have tried so far
Pros
- Ive heard the smaller size is great
Cons
- This bigger size is very hard to get results with

Good, strong and inexpensive softbait
February 7, 2020
These are a great value. I can't buy three 3/4 jighead and softbaits for less than $5. I've seen people use these with great success inshore fishing. The rockfish around my dock love them. I am looking forward to using them in bigger water this Spring and Summer.
