Aqua Flies dumbbell eyes are used to add weight and balance to Intruder style flies. They are designed to be durable, sink quickly, provide a jigging action, and come in a wide variety of colors and sizes
- Purpose: They are specifically designed for intruder patterns, which are large flies with a wide profile that are intended to be cast easily while appearing full and animated in the current. The eyes are a key component for weighting the fly and achieving the correct action.
- Construction: They are made of brass and are finished with a durable powder coating in numerous colors, including fluorescent options. The hourglass shape is common, providing more weight in a compact size.
- Functionality: The eyes are intended to be attached to the front of the fly, often secured with super glue and then tied down with thread. They give the fly a signature jigging action that attracts predatory fish like steelhead and salmon.
- Availability: They are sold in packs of 20 and come in various colors and sizes to match different fly patterns and fishing conditions
COLORS: Black, Black Nickel, Blood Red, Brown, Blue, King Fisher Blue, Olive, Purple, Fluorescent Pink, Fluorescent Salmon Pink, Fluorescent Flame, White and Fluorescent Chartreuse.
Available in three sizes: 1/8″ (3.2mm), 5/32″ (4mm) and 3/16″ (4.8mm)
