I've always liked this Monster Fish figure and decided to take it to the next level.

I've been working on this off and on since November, let me know what you think! It really ties in with the theme well.

Each figure is fitted w/ 3mm LEDs for the eyes that match the flash sequence to the monster fish "hurry-up" insert on the playfield. The wedge socket on the other end has a frosted cool white LED included.

This is a plug and play mod and takes less than 5 minutes to install. Unscrew one nut, install monster fish, run connector harness to bottom side of playfield, and connect socket.

Choose eye colors from: RED, ORANGE, GREEN, YELLOW or PURPLE !!!

Follow this link for more installation details/pics:

Quoted from Foo:

My Monster Fish mod review:
Kudos to to Paul/theGiven for this mod. I received the Monster days after ordering. His communication was great. He sent along a tracking number, instructions for installation and his phone number if there were any issues. The quality of his work was fantastic. The mod installed easily as stated. I had one slight issue where a contact on the new socket didn't touch the circuit board enough, so I had to bend it a bit with a needle nose pliers. No big deal... a 2 second fix. I added a few zip ties to keep the new wiring in place and I was good to go. It's a neat little mod at a great price.

Thank you for the great review Foo! The first batch of these went quick and have all shipped... I'm on to batch #2...and have more ready to go. Who wants a monster fish? !!!

Have had some PM's asking about the socket that I am using so I thought I'd share with the group. It's a JKL 2933T and is available at most of the regular electronics suppliers. It's a great product for tapping into the 12v through the wedge socket.

Quoted from ozzyazza:

Check out Fish Tales pinball monster fish mod on ebay.

Why not start your own thread for this instead of taking a crap in the middle of mine?

Quoted from Pinballerchef:

Cool azz MOD bump!! I'm not a FT owner but would like this in any of my machines if it fit

Quoted from fish1975tx:

This mod is awesome! Thanks for making these!

Quoted from fiberdude120:

The mod made by theGiven is less money and is a better constructed item. I have one and it is very nice.

You guys are awesome! I really think this mod is a perfect fit for this game. I'm glad others seem to agree and are enjoying it in their games!

ddebus - The boxes you are seeing are a self mailer that I bought from uline. A friend helped w/ the logo and creating the decal on the side. These are the boxes that the mod ships in! Each one is securely wrapped inside to arrive to you safely.

I know a lot of Fish Tales owners already have an un-moded figure in their game. I was one of them until I took on this project to find a way to make him interactive. It makes the experience completely new having his eyes flash in sequence when the monster fish jackpot is lit and breathes new life into the game. I hope you decide to get one, you won't regret it!

Never words I'd use, but I appreciate your attempt at having my back. Definitely thought it was not cool for him to post his version in this thread. I have no issues with his version.

Quoted from tslayer71:

Hmmm kinda funny. I bought my monster fish mod from Australia a couple months ago. This mod was no where to be found. Wonder where the OP got his idea?

I started on this mod back in November...had not seen a version with lit eyes before mine. If one existed before then, then it is what it is. Closest thing I saw was someone had wired a spotlight to shine on it. Glad you are happy with the one you have.

For anyone looking for a custom look....I now am offering these with the following different colored eyes:
YELLOW
PURPLE
RED
GREEN
ORANGE

Also edited first post at top to show available colors for eyes!

Quoted from yzfguy:

oooh....I didn't really feel the urge to add this, but those colors look really good....hmmmmmm green or purple? is the green brighter or just the way that pic came out?

It's mostly the photo, but of all the colors - green is the most intense and purple is the most subtle. All colors look cool in the game. It's really all about customizing your game to your preference!

Ok, final bump/push on this.

Over 90 pinheads (mostly pinsiders....THANK YOU!) now have a MonsterFishMOD on their games.

I'm down to approximate 16 or 17 left with NO plans to make more once these are gone.

If you were on the fence, or even have Fish Tales on your wish list, now is the time to stash one before they are no longer available.

Thanks again Pinsiders for the amazing support!

Thanks again everyone for this latest wave of interest. I'll do my best to keep some on hand as people pick-up FT in the future and want this mod for their game as suggested! It really is a cool mod, and I'm not just saying that cause I'm selling them ...

Thank you Hooked...I appreciate the thumbs up! I have your mods all over my Metallica...pop bumper caps, billboard mod and I just put in a request for your spinner mod. You do great stuff.

Also a shameless bump to the top for myself. I really think all Fish Tales should have this mod. It's really cool.

Thank you to all that have purchased. All colors still available!

Quoted from zucot:

Is there any way this could be mounted in the open window at the stretch the truth plastic?

I can make one with a longer harness so that it can go in different places on the playfield. As long as you have an access point to the underside of the playfield, you should be good. I've done this for a few others.
