Hareline Copper Plated Lead Eyes

Starting at: $3.49 Shop

For those times when traditional lead eyes just don’t have the color or level of flash that you’re after, Hareline brings you their Copper Plated Lead Eyes. These lead eyes have a copper plating that adds a bright copper look to them that gives you flies just a hint of flash, while also quickly adding weight to your flies. Perfect for fishing in tannic or dirty water, these eyes are less subdued than plain lead eyes and come in enough sizes to cover all of your bases. Whether you’re tying up a crayfish for smallmouth bass, a shrimp for redfish, or a secret pattern of your own, the Copper Plated Lead Eyes are sure to get the fish’s attention. 

Uses

Hareline’s Copper Plated Lead Eyes are an excellent choice anytime you want to quickly add weight to your flies and have a bit of copper flash. From streamers to crabs, these eyes can be used on both fresh and saltwater patterns, and they provide a look that’s a bit more flashy than traditional lead eyes. 

Comparisons

There are many different lead eyes available, so it really depends on what effect you want in your flies. If you’re looking for something flashy, then Hareline’s Gold Plated Lead Eyes are a great option, and if you want something more subtle, then the classic Plain Lead Dumbbell Eyes are a great choice.
