Hareline Dubbin Fly Tying Cone Heads - Large 1/4 in Gold

Premium Hareline Dubbin Cone Heads for Weighted, Balanced Fly Ties

Quality brass cone head beads designed for fly tying, these large 1/4 in gold cone heads work with streamers, muddler minnows, and other baitfish patterns. The gold finish catches light, helping patterns stand out in the water while keeping a clean silhouette on the body of your fly. Each package contains 24 bead heads, ready to be incorporated into your next project.

Key design features that matter on the vise include a tapered cone shape that provides a natural anchor for thread wraps and materials, a weight-adding profile that helps your pattern cast and sink with confidence, a durable coating that resists wear, and a smooth bore that minimizes friction during placement. These details combine to produce a tidy, professional look as you finish each tie.

What to expect when you use them: the bead sits close to the hook, creating a balanced center of gravity that can influence the fly's motion in water. The 1/4 inch diameter offers a solid, noticeable heft without bulk, making them a versatile option for larger streamer patterns.

• Tapered cone shape for clean attachment and balanced action
• Adds weight for deeper presentation or controlled sinking
• Durable coating resists wear and keeps color vibrant
• Smooth bore eases insertion and precise alignment

Brand heritage can add confidence to your tying. Hareline Dubbin, founded in 1981 in Monroe, Oregon, has grown from a kitchen stove with 12 dubbing colors to a 45,000 square foot facility offering thousands of fly tying products. That evolution reflects a commitment to craft and consistency that anglers have relied on for decades.

Real-world use cases: this cone head works well on muddler minnows and larger streamer patterns that benefit from added weight and a clean, tapered front. It also pairs nicely with many baitfish styles where a steady sink and balanced center of gravity help create natural movement in water.

Tips for best results when tying with Hareline Dubbin cone heads:

• Choose the size that matches your hook and target pattern
• Secure with a robust thread and finish to maximize longevity
• Align the bore with the shank to prevent misalignment
