    The Fish Skull Fish Mask from Flyman Fishing Company are a great way to easily add eyes to streamers and baitfish patterns, both big and small. Fish Mask were designed as an alternative to using epoxy to build up heads with eyes. To use these masks simply tie the fly that you would like to add eyes to. Choose the right size Fish Mask and Living Eyes or other adhesive eye to match and the fly pattern. Place a drop or two of zap-a-gap or super glue on the head of the fly, slide the Fish Mask on over the hook eye and seat it onto the fly head. From there, you are ready to roll.

    Fish Skull Fish Mask sizes match up with the same size Fish Skull Living Eyes. For example, a size 6 Fish Mask matches with size 6 Living Eyes. Not using Living Eyes, no problem. The Fish Mask sizing correlates to the size of adhesive eye in mm, meaning a 10mm adhesive eye fits onto a size 10 Fish Mask.

    Quantity of Masks per pack: #3 (12); #4, #5 (10); #6, #7, #8.5 (8); #10, #15 (6)
