Product Description

Hends – Booby Eyes 5mm – Buoyant foam eyes for booby and stillwater fly patterns.

The Hends Booby Eyes 5mm are designed to add buoyancy and lifelike profile to booby-style flies and other stillwater patterns. Made from durable closed-cell foam, these lightweight eyes help flies ride high in the water column or suspend above the bottom when paired with sinking lines. Their round shape creates a natural silhouette while ensuring durability and consistent performance cast after cast. Easy to tie in and available in multiple colours, Hends Booby Eyes are a must-have for targeting trout in lakes and reservoirs with effective floating or suspended fly presentations.
