Overview
This BBTO pack includes 50 dumbbell eyes in yellow, green and red, each sized at 4.8 millimeters and made from iron and zinc. They're weighted eyes meant to be tied onto flies and jigs targeting crappie, trout and panfish.
Dumbbell eyes add both weight and a lifelike eye pattern to a fly, helping a pattern sink and swim with a jigging action instead of sitting flat in the water. With 50 pieces across three colors in one pack, this is a bulk restock rather than a small trial size.
- 50 pieces per pack
- 4.8mm size
- Yellow, green and red colors
- Iron and zinc material
Who it's for
Fly tiers who tie weighted jig style flies or small streamers for crappie, trout and panfish. Not suited to saltwater or heavier target species given the light 4.8mm size.
Pros and cons
- 50 pieces covers a lot of tying sessions
- Three colors in one pack
- Sized for panfish, trout and crappie patterns
- Fixed at 4.8mm, not suited to larger flies
- No seller description confirming eye finish or plating
Performance notes
The iron and zinc construction gives the eyes enough weight to help a fly sink and jig, and at 4.8mm they're sized for smaller patterns rather than large streamers. Having three colors, yellow, green and red, in one 50 piece pack lets a tier vary a fly's look without buying separate packs.
