I use these eyes in place of the lead ones on bunny streamers that I fish for bass (using Hareline Rabbit Fur Strips (1/4") and the crosscut strips like a hackle). The flies sink slowly without the lead eyes and I can control where in the water column I fish them by counting them down and then begin my retrieve. These work great! One note, the tail of the fly has to be shorter in order to sink well w/o the lead eyes. I cut it back about a third and then the fly sinks properly. Highly recommended!
Great for large flies. If you are getting the fish skull living eyes make sure you get the right size. I got the XL sea eyes and the 6mm eyes which is wrong you need the 10mm to fit
I use these eyes in medium on a size 2 mustad signature for my redfish streamers. Light enough to allow the streamer to ride hook down and give me the action I want. At least a dozen Reds this year on flies using these eyes. Calls for a 7/32 or smaller adhesive eye, but the 7/32 3d doesn't fit well within the rim of the aluminum eye - use a 5/32 instead.
I used these eyes to create some streamer flies with large eyes. This product made a much neater looking large eyed fly compared to just glueing large eyes to an epoxy head. The flies were a dream to castas well.
