Quick take
Pre-painted dumbbell-shaped lead eyes for streamer and baitfish fly patterns.
A 40-piece pack of lead dumbbell eyes for tying streamers, baitfish patterns and spinner flies. The pack splits evenly into sand yellow, white, fluorescent red and chartreuse, ten of each, with black pupils already painted on. This set uses the 5.5mm size, and the lead adds weight to help a fly sink.
