Designed for ultra-deep and swift water when you need to get your flies down quickly, Hareline’s Tungsten Predator Eyes do just that. Made from tungsten, these eyes are extremely heavy and sink your flies faster than other options, while their realistic combo of a bright iris and dark pupil ensures that your flies have all of the realism that you need to convert tough fish. Available in a variety of color and size options, Hareline’s Tungsten Predator Eyes are ready for anything from striped bass cruising a dropoff to that monster brown trout that lives in the deepest pool of your local river.
Uses
Hareline’s Tungsten Predator Eyes are designed for scenarios when you want to add a realistic pair of eyes and get your flies down deep. These eyes are perfect when fishing fast water or the super deep stuff, and we especially like them when we want to add more weight to a classic pattern like the Clouser Minnow.
Comparisons
There are many different options for dumbbell eyes out there, but with tungsten being the heaviest material, there isn’t another option that will sink your flies as quickly as the Tungsten Predator Eyes. However, if you don’t need to get your flies down quickly, then Hareline’s Double Pupil Brass Eyes are a good option. Brass isn’t nearly as heavy as tungsten, so these eyes are ideal when fishing in shallow or slower water.
