Hareline Aluminum Sea Eyes Nickel

Hareline Aluminum Sea Eyes are a great way to add huge size, durable eyes without massive weight. 3D holographic adhesive eyes can be used on the recessed ends of these hourglass eyes to add more pizzazz to your flies. These Hareline Aluminum Sea Eyes are very cool gizmos to spice up our saltwater patterns. The aluminum is relatively light, but these babies are BIG and make a platform to glue in BIG EYES. Everyone knows that flies tied with big eyes attract big ocean predatory fish. Right-on. Why use aluminum, one might ask. Because we want the durability of a metal barbell fly tying eye without too much weight. Too much weight would make these sink too fast or would hurt us even more when we smack a fly into the back of the skipper’s head.

Medium (20 eyes per pack) 1/4″ (6.3mm) – Use 7/32″ (3.5mm) eyes or smaller
Large (15 eyes per pack) 3/8″ (9.5mm) – Use 5/16″ (5mm) eyes or smaller

Of course, if you want to create all sorts of natural looking streamer fly patterns, then our ever growing range of natural hairs and furs is the ideal place to start for something different to the synthetic option. Don’t just settle on looking in the Hare & Rabbit category when you’re chasing quality winging and body furs, check out the Specialty Species Category of the Troutlore Flytying Store as well. Plus, we keep a great selection of Calf and Bucktail as well, in a big range of colours to take care of your freshwater and saltwater flytying needs. If you can’t find a product you are specifically looking for, get in touch and we will see if it can be sourced, and kept in stock. Plus, you can keep up to date with new releases through our newsletter and social media outlets.
