You can buy shrimp eyes, but generally they are expensive and also quite simple. Just a simple black eye. However, you can make them yourself with these DIY shrimp eyes. They are much more detailed and realistic, and you can make them in any color combo you want.

Glad to help

@braddoughman6114 Год назад

Simply easy and awesome thanks

@McFlyAngler Год назад

Glad it helped.

@stewoutdoors3020 6 лет назад

Really good beginner video. Don't forget to move the cup before you hit with the light. One day I kicked off a cup full. LOL.

@McFlyAngler 6 лет назад

Yes, we have all made that mistake

@nichtverstehen2045 9 дней назад

yeah, and don't forget to use your fingers to adjust resin. it's such a fun to scrub it later on.

@McFlyAngler 8 дней назад

lol! I would recommend not doing that. If I did in the video I’m sure I regretted it later

@iflysw1 4 года назад

Great idea with the beads, i was just burning mono.

@McFlyAngler 4 года назад

For sure man, glad you like it. It wasn't actually my idea though, I think I linked to a video that I got the idea from.

@Dragon-Slay3r Год назад

Elongated shrimp aka crab eyes aka frog eyes if you add a horizontal line beneath the eyes it's becomes a Jap pi sign facing down

@AllTiedUpFlyTyingSchool 6 лет назад

Great job explaining this great hack.

@McFlyAngler 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@Dragon-Slay3r Год назад

Yeah no problem they don't want to end the game so this is all the old stuff I've lost my abilities I was just told by the birds 😭

@rickpayne3915 Год назад

I also follow Coastal Fly. You bot😮h do an awesome job with your informative videos. Keep up the great work.

Glad you liked it! Thank you

@thomastuorto9929 3 года назад

Nice. Never seen them done with the beads before. Just melt, resin , color with a marker & re-resin. Both ways work & thanks for putting the vid up. You live near the coast? Just asking because I see those Olive over White Clousers sitting on your desk. That is a great color combo for stripers here in the N.E. in the Fall. Tight lines.

@McFlyAngler 3 года назад

Thanks, yeah I’m in Texas, some cost fishing.

@angelvalentin8204 4 года назад

The beads is a great idea

@McFlyAngler 4 года назад

Thanks! One of my subs actually suggested it. Haha! This channel has become a hub of knowledge from a collective of 25k people all giving great ideas and suggestions that I am able to post up. Really great-full for all my subscribers!

This is an awesome video, thank you! Now, is there a dyi for shrimp skin?😂

@McFlyAngler 3 года назад

Thanks. I haven’t seen anything for shrimp skin…. Sorry

@seanmooney3907 6 лет назад

Hey Buddy, I read your other posting. You never told us what the seller name you are using on eBay. Nice eyes, I have burned mono and resined it before, never thought about the beads though. Great idea. . All the best, Sean

@McFlyAngler 6 лет назад

I linked to my eBay I thought. Either way the seller handle I use is escapingdailygrind

@McFlyAngler 6 лет назад

By the way, it’s actually not my idea for the eyes. I wish I could say it was, but others have done it before. I just wanted to show everyone Incase some of you hadn’t seen it before. How is your wife Sean? I still keep you and your family in my prayers.

@matthewkaski2607 6 лет назад

Awesome.

@McFlyAngler 6 лет назад

Thanks

@janetduh4344 4 года назад

Awesome tip! Is the UV resin necessary for the bead to stay on? A bit on a budget so haven’t invested in UV stuff yet. Thanks!

@McFlyAngler 4 года назад

Thanks. Yes it is, you could try 5 minute epoxy also. not sure if that will work as well or not though. Glad to help!

@jesse-raybear-baldwin 2 года назад

Hobby Lobby has their jewelry making 50% off. Four ounces of UV resin and a light for less than $20.

@georgebanker2669 2 года назад

Or a dab of superglue.

@ryuusabaku1891 6 лет назад

How do u put the eyes on bait?? Sorry for my question.. Im totally a noob who had interested in fly fishing technique...

@McFlyAngler 6 лет назад

These eyes are easy, tie them in. Go look up presidential shrimp, as I use these exact eyes.

@jonahmichael2796 Год назад

What size beads were those TIA ❤

@McFlyAngler Год назад

I can’t remember, but I put it in the description section of the video I think

@user-kd4fm1fw6p Год назад

🤩👍❗

@texasforever5776 2 года назад

What kind of beads are you using? No need for nail polish just use acrylic paint?

@McFlyAngler 2 года назад

Hey, I was using very small beads made for fly tying but any tiny glass bead should work. As for paint, try it I guess. Nail polish is cheap though.

@DaveFer 6 лет назад

I see demos where the presenter cuts many pieces of mono same length by measuring 1 cut piece against tag end from spool. Why not make 5 or 8 loops around 1 or 2 fingers, then cut with scissors across all windings. Bam you're done.

@McFlyAngler 6 лет назад

Good thinking!

@DaveFer 6 лет назад

And what I really meant to say was, "Great video. I will definitely be trying this with my son tomorrow. Thank you for creating this."

@McFlyAngler 6 лет назад

Lol thanks. I never felt you were being rude or anything. I think your idea is a great one. I might give it a try!

@PiscatorFlies 6 лет назад

Those look great Shawn. What size mono were you using?

@McFlyAngler 6 лет назад

20 lb... I would say anything between 20 and 30 would be fine

@scotts.2624 6 лет назад

Your video is better. I think this could be used for fish eyes on larger fly's.

@McFlyAngler 6 лет назад

I dont know if mine is better... But just different. Thanks! :) Yeah, possibly could your right!

@zachkontos6320 6 лет назад

McFly Angler sorry if I missed it, but do you have a video on tying a bumble bee imitation, if not would love to see one. Keep up the great work- Zach

@McFlyAngler 6 лет назад

I don’t man, sorry...

@zachkontos6320 6 лет назад

McFly Angler no worries, your the reason I got into tying and I'm loving it so far, thanks again

@McFlyAngler 6 лет назад

Thanks man! Glad to have helped you light that ember. Its addicting man... HAHA So, I just dont fish bee patterns often, so I dont really tie them either. Sorry bro.

@Signcutter Год назад

What kind of vise was used in the video?

@@McFlyAngler Thx

@patcoyable 4 года назад

Tip: burn one end of the mono before you put the beads on

@McFlyAngler 4 года назад

I think I do that... didn’t I do that?

@patcoyable 3 года назад

No sir, not in this video. Also, this is frigg'n brilliant. I should have said that before. I've literally been sitting here with my 4 yo for about an hour making these eyes which is remarkable because he has trouble concentrating sometimes. Its possibly your calm voice. Anyway, I know this isn't your idea, but thanks for the vids anyway
