Hareline Brass Dumbbell Eyes
The quickest way to add action and weight to any pattern. Hareline Brass Dumbbell Eyes are small weighted components used in fly tying, a technique used to create artificial flies for fly fishing. These dumbbell eyes are designed to be attached to the hook of a fly pattern to add weight and help the fly sink in the water column. They are typically made of brass, which is a heavy and corrosion-resistant material.
The "dumbbell" shape refers to their appearance, as they look somewhat like miniature dumbbells with rounded ends and a narrow center. This design allows them to be easily tied onto the hook shank using various fly tying materials, such as thread or wire.
Fly tiers use dumbbell eyes to create various fly patterns, such as streamers and nymphs, which are intended to imitate different aquatic insects or baitfish. The added weight from these eyes helps the fly sink quickly to the desired depth, making it more effective for catching fish that are feeding underwater.
Hareline is a well-known brand in the fly tying industry, and they offer a wide range of fly tying materials and accessories, including Brass Dumbbell Eyes in various sizes and colors. Fly tiers can choose the appropriate size and color of dumbbell eyes to match the specific fly pattern they are creating and the fishing conditions they are targeting.
Brass. 20 per packet.
