When you’re looking to add realism to big flies, there’s no easier way to do it than with Hareline’s 3D Big Fish Eyes. These durable eyes have a three-dimensional composition to aid in your fly’s realism, and with dark pupils and either a silver or pearl iris (depending on your choice), you get just the right amount of flash to trigger predatory fish into eating. Available in two sizes (3/8in. and 1/2 in.), these 3D Big Fish Eyes are ready for big musky flies just as much as they are for tying large saltwater patterns to take thirty miles offshore into the bluewater.
Uses
Hareline’s 3D Big Fish Eyes are pretty straightforward in their purpose, and they’re used to add eyes to your flies. Due to their large size, these eyes are perfect for tying the really big stuff, and whether it’s a massive squid or big pogy, you can rest easy knowing that they look great no matter the bait.
Comparisons
An option for eyes that’s similar to Hareline 3D Big Fish Eyes is Fish-Skull Living Eyes. The Living Eyes also have a three-dimensional dome appearance with a dark pupil. The main differences between these two options are that the Living Eyes come in a wider range of sizes and colors, so depending on what you’re looking to imitate, one option may be superior to the other. However, regardless of what you choose, you can rest easy knowing that both options add a level of life to your patterns that fish can’t resist.
