Wapsi Pocket-Eye Coneheads Small Black Nickel | Fly Tying Cone Heads

Enhance Your Fly Tying with Wapsi Pocket-Eye Coneheads

Adding a cone head to a fly can influence how it moves through water. The Wapsi Pocket-Eye Coneheads Small Black Nickel are crafted to be compact and streamlined, helping your pattern cut through the current with minimal resistance. The tapered profile minimizes snagging during retrieves and casts, while the small form keeps a clean silhouette on smaller flies.

Finish and visibility options let you tailor the look for different water conditions and targets. A bright polished finish—gold, nickel, or copper plated—adds a touch of flash, making the fly stand out in murkier water or bright sun. For a more natural appearance, the black nickel option offers a subtle, low-contrast look that blends with many patterns. The Small Black Nickel cone head is part of the EYCP3100 family and pairs well with standard fly tying hooks and setups.

Consider these cone heads as a versatile upgrade for your tying kit.
