Hareline Slotted Tungsten Beads

Plunge your sub-surface patterns straight to the river cobble with Hareline Slotted Tungsten Beads, the ultimate choice for technical, fast-sinking nymph designs. Specially engineered for modern jig hooks with eyes offset at an angle to the shank, the precision-cut slot allows these premium beads to slide effortlessly around the tightest hook bends without jamming. Because they utilize a narrow slot instead of a massive countersunk cone, significantly less metal is removed from the dense spherical shape. This ensures that Hareline slotted beads are noticeably heavier than standard countersunk variations of the exact same diameter, giving you a faster sink rate without adding unwanted bulk to the fly profile. Perfect for heavy attractor nymphs, tactical Euro-nymphing rigs, and micro-streamers, these high-density tungsten beads guarantee your flies ride hook-point up to eliminate bottom snags. Every retail package contains exactly 20 high-quality beads to outfit your fly bench for the season.

Deep, roaring tailwater runs on the Miracle Mile and Grey Reef stretches of the North Platte River right here in Casper demand serious weight to reach fish holding in the bottom current seams. Local tiers rely heavily on Hareline Slotted Tungsten Beads to tie up heavy, anchor-fly variations of the Solitude Tungsten Jig Squirrel and buggy Zirdle Bugs. By pairing these high-density slotted beads with premium barbless jig hooks, you create an ultra-heavy, snag-free fly that bounces cleanly along the gravel riverbed without constantly hanging up on moss lines or rocks. This setup allows you to completely eliminate clumsy split-shot on your indicator or tight-line Euro rigs, delivering a much cleaner, more accurate casting loop in our legendary Wyoming winds.
