The Hat Eyes clips to your hat brim to take the guesswork out of threading small hooks. High-grade acrylic lenses fold out of the way when not in use. It has a stainless steel clip and frame. Available: 2X, 2.25X magnification.
These are excellent for tying fishing knots and seeing detail when needed. Well made and sturdy with lots of adjustments to suit the individual. I fly fish a lot at night time and under low light conditions and with a suitable headlight these allow me to tie flies on with ease. If your arms are not long enough then you need these.
LEARNED ABOUT THIS FROM A GUIDE. CONVIENT AND WORKS WELL. I FOUND THAT THIS GREATLY HELPS TYING A FLY ON A TIPPET, ESPECIALLY THE SMALLER SIZES. EASY TO HAVE HANDY WHILE WADING THE STREAM
Since my very first fly fishing trip some years ago, I have used the Hat-Eyes, which was recommended by my guide, when I went with him to pick up my license before beginning my trip.
I use it on every tip, and when it got lost overboard on a float trip, it was important to buy a replacement immediately.
