Extended Product Information

FAQs

What types of flies are these epoxy eyes best suited for?

These eyes are primarily designed for streamer flies and saltwater baitfish patterns, where durability and a realistic profile are important.

What adhesive should I use to attach the eyes?

We recommend using a strong, flexible fly-tying cement or a good quality super glue that is suitable for bonding plastic or epoxy to fly-tying materials.

Are these eyes available in other colors besides Fl Red, Silver, and Fl Super Pearl?

This particular product listing focuses on Fl Red. Other colors like Chartreuse and Silver are available as separate product variants. Please check the product listings for other color options.

Can I use these for freshwater trout flies?

Yes, you can use them for freshwater applications, especially on larger streamers designed to imitate baitfish, like those targeting trout or pike. The 3mm size is often suitable.

How do I clean the epoxy eyes on a finished fly?

A slightly damp cloth can be used to wipe away dirt or grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the epoxy or surrounding materials.

What is the difference between the 3mm and 4mm sizes?

The 3mm size is smaller and suitable for smaller flies, while the 4mm size is larger and works well on bigger streamers and saltwater patterns, providing a more prominent eye.

Troubleshooting

Eyes do not adhere properly

Ensure the surface of the fly where the eye is being attached is clean and dry. Use a high-quality fly-tying cement or super glue specifically designed for fishing lures. Apply sufficient adhesive to the underside of the eye.

Color fades over time

Store the epoxy eyes in their original packaging or a dark container, away from direct sunlight. While durable, prolonged UV exposure can eventually affect vibrant colors.

Eyes break or chip

This is rare due to the hard epoxy construction. Ensure flies are stored carefully to avoid impact. If an eye does break, it can be carefully removed and replaced with a new one using adhesive.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a realistic and attractive eye for fishing lures.
  • Durable construction withstands frequent use and harsh conditions.
  • Available in colors known to attract predatory fish.
  • Comes in multiple sizes to fit different fly designs.

Cons

  • Fixed color and size within each product pack.
  • Requires adhesive for attachment to the fly.
  • May be less suitable for very small or delicate fly patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To attach the Fulling Mill Epoxy Eyes, apply a small amount of strong, flexible fly-tying cement or super glue to the underside of the eye and press it firmly into place on the fly pattern. Ensure the eye is positioned correctly before the adhesive sets. These eyes are compatible with a wide range of fly-tying materials and are designed for use on streamers, saltwater flies, and other baitfish imitations. Clean the eyes with a slightly damp cloth if they become dirty, but avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the epoxy. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their color and integrity.
