Cyclops Eyes are the standard bead used for tying bead head fly patterns. These brass beads are specially drilled for fly tying, with the hole on one end smaller so it will not slide over the hook eye. We stock these beads in Black, Copper, Gold Plated and Nickel colors. We stock these beads in sizes 5-64, 3-32, 1-8, 5-32 and 3-16. Cyclops Eyes come 24 beads per package.

These are good for 16's and 18's... If you want less weight, they may seem bulky for a 18.

I will continue to purchase the product.

Comments about Wapsi Fly Cyclops Eyes Beads:

These are great beads.
They slip onto the hook easily
and are available in very small
sizes.
I use them for tiny size 30 wide gape
hooks, all the way up to larger sizes
for pike flies.
The holes in the smallest of these beads
allow you to use them on slightly larger
fly hooks depending on the barb size and curve of the hook.
Excellent beads!

Slide onto hooks easily.
