Cyclops Eyes are the standard bead used for bead head 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 the following colors: Gold Plated, Black, Nickel, Brass and Copper. The Nickel is silver in color. The brass and gold look very similar, but the brass is a bit lighter and brighter in color.

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.
