Overview
Adding realistic eyes to a bass fly or lure pattern is a small detail that can make a big difference, and the wifreo set packages 300 pieces of 3mm resin eyes in multicolor finishes for $6.99. That is the lowest price among the fly tying materials in this comparison, undercutting even the Hareline Natural Elk Hair's $3.95 on a per unit basis given the 300 piece count.
A 4.6 star average across 431 reviews places this listing among the top rated products here, matching the GREATFISHING squirmy wormy combo and crystal flash set, both also at 4.6, and ahead of the Hareline CDC28's 4.0 and the Hareline NB377's 4.2. The 431 review count is also the third largest sample in this group, behind only the Hareline NB377's 550 and the GREATFISHING shrimp combo's 521. The one figure working against it is bought last month, listed at 0+, matching the foam sheet combo as the lowest recent demand reading in this comparison.
For bass focused tiers who need a bulk stock of small resin eyes, the 300 piece count at $6.99 and the 4.6 star rating across a substantial 431 review base make this one of the better value, better rated options here, even if recent purchase volume has cooled.
Pros
- 4.6 star average across 431 reviews ties for the highest rating in this comparison
- 300 pieces per pack works out to roughly 2 cents per eye at $6.99
- 431 review count is the third largest sample among the fly tying materials compared here
- Multicolor finish gives variety for different bass pattern designs

Cons
- 0+ bought last month ties for the lowest recent demand figure in this comparison

- Target Species is listed specifically as Bass, so it is not a general purpose material for other species
- Resin material eyes add a specific step to fly construction rather than being a drop in body material

Performance notes
At 300 pieces for $6.99, the per unit cost works out to a bit over 2 cents per eye, a bulk price point that suits tiers producing multiple bass patterns per session rather than a single fly. The 3mm size classification fits smaller to mid sized bass flies and lures, and the resin material is the standard choice for lightweight, durable 3D eyes that hold up to repeated casting and fish contact better than painted eyes alone. Listed as Multicolor, the set likely covers several common eye finishes in one purchase, useful for matching different bass pattern styles without ordering single color batches. The Target Species listing of Bass indicates the sizing and finish were selected with that species in mind rather than as a universal fly tying component.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average across 431 reviews is a strong result at scale, placing this listing among the highest rated fly tying materials in this comparison alongside the two GREATFISHING listings that also hit 4.6. That the rating holds across 431 reviews, a larger sample than all but two other products here, suggests consistent satisfaction rather than a rating built on a small early batch of buyers. The 0+ bought last month figure stands out as a contrast, since it matches the lowest recent demand reading in this group even though the historical review base is strong, suggesting the product has an established reputation but has not seen a recent sales spike.

Frequently asked questions
What size are the wifreo fish eyes?
They are listed at 3mm, a size suited to smaller to mid sized bass flies and lures. The listing does not offer alternate sizes, so tiers needing larger or smaller eyes would need a different product entirely for those patterns.
How many eyes are in a $6.99 pack?
The pack contains 300 pieces, which works out to a bit over 2 cents per eye at the listed price. That is enough for a large number of bass pattern flies or lures before needing to reorder for another tying season.
Why is the bought last month figure 0+ despite a 4.6 star rating?
The 431 reviews reflect the product's overall history, while the 0+ bought last month figure reflects only recent purchase activity. A strong long term rating can still show quiet recent sales, which is the case here compared to some of the other fly tying materials in this comparison.
