Colored Beads

[Bruce Tomaselli]

I'm curious, does anyone buy/use colored beads for heads on flies? I never have and I'm wondering if they'd be a benefit to my pan fish flies.

Thanks,

Bruce T.

I think Dick Tabbert does.  I've got brass and black beads.  I might start doing ice flies with painted tungsten beads, but those are NOT cheap.

I use both metal and glass beads on a lot of nymph patterns...reds and green mostly.

I see painted tungsten and brass beads, but I've never ordered any of them.
