Fish-Skull® Weightless Living Eye Dumbbell
What is the Fish-Skull Weightless Living Eye Dumbbell?
The Fish-Skull Weightless Living Eye Dumbbell is the ideal solution for adding realistic 3D eyes to weightless baitfish fly patterns. These innovative dumbbells combine translucent, strong weightless construction with Fish-Skull's famous 3D realistic Living Eyes for lifelike appearance and hassle-free fly tying.
Why Use Weightless Dumbbells?
Weightless dumbbells allow your flies to suspend in the water column, creating natural baitfish action without sinking. This is perfect for shallow water patterns, suspending flies in the strike zone, imitating dying or stunned baitfish, and creating slow, natural presentations that trigger strikes.
What Are Fish-Skull Living Eyes?
Fish-Skull Living Eyes are 3D realistic eyes that feature lifelike appearance with depth and dimension, vibrant colors that attract predatory fish, durable construction that withstands aggressive strikes, and easy attachment to fly patterns. Eyes are often the first thing predators look for when hunting.
What Sizes and Colors Are Available?
These dumbbells are available in three sizes (6mm, 8.5mm, and 10mm diameter eyes) and two popular vibrant colors: Fire (bright orange/red) and Ice (pearl/white). This variety allows you to match different baitfish species and water conditions.
When to Use Weightless Eye Dumbbells?
Use these dumbbells for shallow water patterns, suspending flies in the strike zone, imitating baitfish in calm water, fishing over weed beds where weighted flies would snag, and creating slow, natural presentations for selective fish.
How to Tie with Weightless Dumbbells?
Attach the dumbbell to your hook shank using figure-eight wraps with strong thread. The translucent material allows you to see your thread wraps for precise placement. Add your fly materials around the dumbbell, and the realistic eyes will bring your pattern to life.
What Flies Work Best with These Dumbbells?
Perfect for Clouser Minnows, Deceiver variations, baitfish patterns, shrimp and crab imitations, and any pattern where you want realistic eyes without added weight. They work in both freshwater and saltwater applications.
