Hareline Flat-End Tungsten Hour Glass Eyes

Starting at: $7.99 Shop

For those times when getting your fly down fast is a top priority, Hareline’s Flat-End Tungsten Hour Glass Eyes are the perfect choice. For a quick sink, these eyes are made from tungsten, and for easy tying in, their center stem is flat on one side, unlike most other hour glass shaped eyes. Hareline’s Flat-End Tungsten Hour Glass Eyes are also equipped with flat ends so that you can customize your eyes by adding stick on options of your choice. Truly versatile and quite heavy hour glass eyes, these can be used in both fresh and saltwater and are a great choice when looking to enhance flies like the Clouser Minnow.

 

Uses

Hareline’s Flat-End Tungsten Hour Glass Eyes are a great choice for quickly adding weight to flies like shrimp, sculpins, crabs, crayfish, and streamers. However, thanks to their flat-end, they also make it easy to add realistic eyes onto your baitfish and further enhance their realism. Super easy to tie in, these eyes can add an enticing jig motion and get your flies down quickly while providing you the option to really dial in the appearance of your streamers. 

 

Comparisons

There are plenty of hour glass shaped eyes on the tying market, but none are quite as heavy or as versatile as the Hareline Flat-End Tungsten Hour Glass Eyes. A similar product would be the Hareline Heavy Lead Eyes, which are made out of lead yet are not quite as heavy as these tungsten eyes. Also, the Heavy Lead Eyes don’t have the convenience of the flat center stem and flat-end surface area for attaching eyes. While both of these eyes will work to sink your flies, the Hareline Flat-End Tungsten Hour Glass Eyes have a little more weight and versatility in the end. 

 

Example Flies

Hareline’s Flat-End Tungsten Hour Glass Eyes are a great option for adding additional weight to flies that call for lead eyes, such as the Clouser Minnow.
