Alex C. 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2006 Here's a short video on how to mount dumbell eyes. They're great for adding weight to a fly to get it down where you want it, and when you mount them on top of the shank the fly will ride "hook up", and let you fish some places you normally couldn't without getting snagged on something. Hope this helps! How to Mount Dumbell Eyes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madkasel 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2006 Another good video! A lot of people will find that very useful. I remember tying my first eyes on and it was a mess... wish I'd had your video. One bit of advice would be to use some thicker rod winding line for these video demos if you've got it... the thread shows up in the ones you've done, but thicker stuff might show up better.

Alex C. 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2006 Thanks for the feedback! I am working on a better "booth" right now, better lighting, etc. I've been using a 4XL hook so people could see better and didn't even think to use thicker thread :wallbash: Thanks again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
