Who makes the biggest glue on or dumbbell eyes for flies?

Why would you need them ANY LARGER than that?? Just curious. I've used the 3/8" and they work great with glued-in eyes. I use CC Goo for that!

Only thing that big would probably be a doll eye from a craft store. I use the 1/2" eyes and they're about as large as I've seen. Even looking in offshore catalogs and suppliers, I think I saw 3/4" one time but most everything I've seen tops out about 1/2".
You want something that large, I'd make your own from prism tape or foil. It'd be easy to make a die and cover them in rod epoxy or CCG.
