Over the past decade of teaching fly tying, I have been asked all kinds of bizarre questions concerning materials and techniques. Without a doubt, the most frequently asked question is, “What kind of glue do you use to attach eyes for baitfish patterns?” Unequivocally E6000 is by far the best adhesive I have found for gluing on dome-style eyes.

E6000 comes in a metal tube, with your choice of the large or small applicator tip. Trust me, make sure you buy the one with the smaller tip. It keeps the glue from drying out quite so fast, and you don’t get it all over everything if you inadvertently apply too much pressure while squeezing it out.
