EP Crab & Shrimp Eyes – Natural

The EP Crab & Shrimp eyes are the perfect addition to any crustacean imitation to create a more realistic appearance. Available in 2 sizes and a range of colours the EP Crab & Shrimp eyes are must have in a saltwater fly tying kit. You simply cannot tie a shrimp pattern without these.

Whilst there are still debates going as to whether eyes are important in a fly or not; the decision is personal. Enrico Puglisi believe eyes are very important and in fact 99% of his flies have them. To give the crustacean a more realistic appearance you are going to need the EP Crab & Shrimp Eyes.

These eyes are great for all sorts of flies from Bonefish, Permit and Tarpon flies to Atlantic Salmon and Steelhead patterns. Yes, you can melt your own and mix in colour for the eyes. I’ve done that, and I’ll never bother doing it again. There’s a spool of heavy mono at the back of my tying desk with a layer of dust on it now. Why would you bother with all the mess and fuss when you can get EP Crab & Shrimp Eyes ready made. So simple, and so neat!

12 eyes per pack make 6 flies.
