Fulling Mill Streamer Tungsten Eyes - Red M 4.0mm

Tungsten provides significantly more weight than other materials like brass or lead, allowing your streamers to sink faster and deeper, reaching fish in deeper water or strong currents.

Yes, the durable finish and weight make them highly effective for a variety of streamer patterns in both freshwater and saltwater environments.

They are available in 3mm and 4mm sizes. The colors offered are Pearl, Red, and Fluorescent Orange.

The eyes are painted with one of the toughest finishes available, designed for extended durability in fishing conditions. However, like any painted finish, it can wear over time with heavy use.

The 3mm size is suitable for smaller streamers, but the inherent weight of tungsten means they add significant density. For extremely delicate or small flies, lighter weight alternatives might be more appropriate.

Each pack contains 10 tungsten streamer eyes.

Ensure you are using sufficient tying thread and securing the eye firmly with multiple wraps. Consider adding a drop of super glue or UV epoxy for extra hold before wrapping thread.

While the finish is durable, excessive abrasion can cause chipping. Ensure flies are stored properly and avoid rubbing them against rough surfaces unnecessarily. Inspect flies and re-paint small areas if needed.

While designed for fast sinking, if the fly is sinking too rapidly for the fishing conditions, consider using a lighter weight fly or a slower-sinking fly pattern. Adjust leader length and fly line choice.
