Quick take
A 50-piece brass bead assortment in 10 colors and 5 sizes, made for nymph and streamer tying.
These black nickel brass beads come in a 50-piece pack at 2.8 mm, sized for tying nymphs and streamers on trout and panfish hooks. The tapered hole lets each bead slide smoothly around the hook bend before you tie in the body. A handy bulk option for anglers stocking up their fly-tying bench.

Strengths
