# **How to Choose Fly Tying 2D Holographic Fish/Lure Eyes Self Adhesive – 183pc – UK Stock**
When it comes to fly tying, the details matter. One of the most crucial components of an effective fly pattern is the eyes. Not only do they add realism, but they also enhance the lure’s visibility underwater, triggering predatory strikes. If you’re looking for high-quality adhesive eyes for your flies, the **KyleBooker Fly Tying 2D Holographic Fish/Lure Eyes (183pc – UK Stock)** is an excellent choice.
In this guide, we’ll discuss how to choose the right adhesive eyes for your fly patterns, why holographic eyes are beneficial, and what makes the KyleBooker set stand out.
## **Why Use Holographic Eyes in Fly Tying?**
Holographic eyes create a lifelike shimmer that mimics the natural reflective properties of real fish eyes. This effect is particularly useful in:
– **Saltwater flies** – Predators like bass, tarpon, and permit are drawn to flashy, realistic prey.
– **Streamers** – Large, flashy eyes increase visibility in murky water.
– **Bass and pike flies** – Aggressive fish often key in on movement and eye-catching details.
The **KyleBooker 2D Holographic Eyes** provide a 3D-like illusion while remaining flat, making them easy to apply without adding bulk to your flies.
## **Key Factors When Choosing Adhesive Eyes**
### **1. Size & Quantity**
The **KyleBooker set includes 183 pieces** in multiple sizes (2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm), ensuring versatility for different fly patterns. Smaller eyes (2-3mm) work well for nymphs and small streamers, while larger sizes (5-6mm) are ideal for big game flies.
### **2. Adhesive Strength**
These eyes come with a **strong self-adhesive backing**, eliminating the need for glue in most cases. However, for extra durability (especially in saltwater), a drop of UV resin or superglue can reinforce the bond.
### **3. Holographic Effect**
Unlike standard painted eyes, holographic eyes reflect light dynamically, creating an illusion of movement. The **KyleBooker set uses high-grade holographic film**, ensuring maximum flash under water.
### **4. Durability & Water Resistance**
Cheap eyes may peel or fade after a few casts. The **KyleBooker eyes are waterproof and UV-resistant**, maintaining their shine even after prolonged use.
