Hareline Plummeting Tungsten Beads - 3-32in (2.3mm) Metallic Olive

Elevate your fly presentations with Hareline Plummeting Tungsten Beads

Hareline’s Plummeting Tungsten Beads deliver dependable depth control through dense, precise construction. The 3-32in (2.3mm) size sits countersunk on the hook bend, making it easier to slide through the fly tie without snagging. Available in traditional, bright, and metallic colors, including a versatile metallic olive finish, these beads are designed to complement a wide range of patterns and water conditions.

With tungsten as the body material, these beads provide notable sinking efficiency without adding unnecessary bulk. They’re part of Hareline’s complete size range, so you can fine‑tune depth and reach in both calm pools and fast currents. Each package contains 20 beads, giving you ample material for experimenting with different flies and setups.

Why anglers choose these beads
