I doubt it makes much difference to the fish but I really like the way these eyes look on the fly. The pupil in the middle really makes the look. Other than that these are pretty much your standard lead eyes.
These are the only lead eyes I use. Nothing else comes close to looking as sharp as these do. Really makes a big difference to the overall appeal of your fly.
Now if JS would just please stock the Xtra-Small size!
Sure, they look cool and impress me with their looks, but I don't believe fish will be impressed so much. I tie a lot of Clouser Deep Minnows as well as other patterns that require dumbbell eyes. Bob Clouser designed his fly to go deeply into the water where rocks abound. If the tier does not protect these painted eyes with either a two-part epoxy or UV epoxy, the rocks will soon scrape off the paint.
