# **How to Choose 25 x 3mm Dia. Plastazote Foam Booby Eyes/Tubes for Fly Tying – Choice of Colours**
Fly tying is an art that requires precision, creativity, and the right materials. Among the essential components for creating effective and attractive flies are **Plastazote foam booby eyes/tubes**. These small yet crucial elements add buoyancy, movement, and visual appeal to your flies, making them irresistible to fish.
If you’re looking for high-quality **25 x 3mm diameter Plastazote foam booby eyes/tubes**, KyleBooker offers a premium selection in various colours to match your fly patterns. But how do you choose the right ones for your needs? This guide will help you make an informed decision.
## **Why Use Plastazote Foam Booby Eyes/Tubes?**
Plastazote foam is a lightweight, durable, and buoyant material that is perfect for fly tying. Here’s why anglers prefer it:
– **Buoyancy**: Helps flies float higher in the water, making them more visible to fish.
– **Durability**: Resistant to water absorption, ensuring long-lasting performance.
– **Versatility**: Can be used for various fly patterns, including booby flies, poppers, and nymphs.
– **Easy to Work With**: Soft yet firm enough to cut, shape, and glue easily.
## **Key Factors When Choosing Booby Eyes/Tubes**
### **1. Size Matters – 25 x 3mm Dia.**
The **25mm length and 3mm diameter** make these tubes ideal for medium-sized flies. This size provides enough buoyancy without overwhelming smaller patterns. If you’re tying larger flies, you might consider stacking multiple tubes for extra lift.
### **2. Colour Selection – Match the Hatch**
KyleBooker offers a variety of colours to suit different fishing conditions. Here’s how to choose:
– **Natural Colours (Black, Brown, Olive)**: Best for imitating insects and small baitfish.
– **Bright Colours (Orange, Pink, Chartreuse)**: Great for attracting fish in murky water or low-light conditions.
– **Fluorescent & UV Colours**: Highly effective in deep or stained water where visibility is key.
### **3. Density & Buoyancy**
Plastazote foam comes in different densities. A medium-density foam (like the one used in KyleBooker’s products) offers the perfect balance—light enough to float but firm enough to hold shape.
### **4. Compatibility with Hook Sizes**
Ensure the **3mm diameter** fits well with your hook size. For smaller hooks, you can trim the tubes, while larger hooks may require additional layers.
## **Best Fly Patterns for Plastazote Booby Eyes/Tubes**
– **Booby Flies**: The buoyant eyes keep the fly suspended, making it deadly for stillwater trout.
– **Poppers & Frogs**: Adds extra floatation for surface strikes.
– **Nymphs & Buzzers**: Helps keep the fly in the strike zone longer.
