Easy Shrimp Eyes - The simplest way, EVER, to add eyes to your shrimp patterns. Great for saltwater shrimp and steelhead patterns. These eyes are super realistic and are connected to a tab which can be tied in place on the hook shank with ease. The tab has grooves on the tying surface so the thread bites into it and holds the eyes firmly in place. The new X-Small eyes are designed for size 8-12 hooks. 10 pairs of eyes per packet.

Easy Shrimp Eyes are EASY
I found out about these when researching sea trout flies, and after some searching, found them at Caster's Fly Shop. They are indeed super easy to use, and since they come in a variety of colors, really add to the realism of the shrimp patterns I have been tying lately. The plastic tab allows for easy placement on the body without excessive buildup. I hope that these will be offered in a larger size in the future, but the "Medium" size seems appropriate for a size 1 to size 8 hook.
