Hareline Flourescent Fly Eyes

Starting at: $3.49 Shop

Whether tying deer hair bass bugs or streamers for the salt, there’s no easier way to enhance your fly’s realism than with a pair of eyes. Hareline’s Fluorescent Fly Eyes add a bold look to any pattern you add them into. With their fluorescent iris and bold pupil, these eyes stand out in the water and attract predatory fish, while their three-dimensional dome construction only further aids in a lifelike appearance. Available in a wide range of sizes and fluorescent colors, these eyes are a perfect addition to your flies whether you’re whipping up snook flies to take into the backcountry or stocking up the streamer box for some trout and smalljaws. 

Uses

Hareline’s Fluorescent Fly Eyes can be used anytime you want to add eyes to your flies. These flies have a fluorescent iris that stands out in the water, making them perfect for baitfish imitations of any kind. One especially valuable aspect of Hareline’s Fluorescent Fly Eyes is their glow-in-the-dark option, which is perfect for nighttime fishing or when fishing in super dark or tannic water. 

Note: while these eyes have an adhesive backing, we recommend strengthening the bond with glue or UV Resin.

Comparisons 

There are many options for eyes on the fly tying market, and if you’re looking for a similar option that doesn’t have a fluorescent iris, then Hareline’s 3D Adhesive Holographic Eyes are an excellent choice. These eyes have the same three-dimensional construction that imitates a fish’s eyes, but instead of a fluorescent iris, they have a holographic iris. This holographic look reflects light and adds a realistic look that’s a little better when fished in clear water. Regardless of your choice, both of these eye options are sure to increase the realism of your fly and help you convert tough fish.
