Drift Brass Beads Versatile fly tying beads for adding weight and balance.

Drift Brass Beads are a fly tying essential, offering a simple and effective way to add weight, flash, and balance to your flies. Perfect for bead head nymphs fished under an indicator or when high sticking for steelhead in slower pools, these beads also add lifelike action to small streamers in rivers or shallow lakes. For even more weight, add 58 wraps of lead or lead-free wire behind the bead when tying. Available in a variety of sizes and finishes, Drift Brass Beads give fly tyers the flexibility to customize patterns for trout, steelhead, and other species. Durable, functional, and versatile, these beads are a must-have on every tying bench. Shop online or visit Drift Outfitters in Toronto for expert advice and fast shipping anywhere in Canada.
