Spiders Plus are delighted to offer flies tied with this exciting new range of fly tying beads.

In recent years, the metal fly-tying bead has become firmly established as a popular and extremely effective fly tying material used in the creation of many successful beadhead nymph, midge, pupa and streamer patterns.

Beads accurately represent the shape and size of a nymphs head area while adding important flash and weight to the fly.

Now comes a NEW idea - Nymph-Head™ Beads !

This patented design from the Flymen Fishing Company of Charlotte, USA has transformed the common bead by adding a pair of “nymph eyes” to a standard tungsten, countersunk fly-tying bead.

This simple enhancement adds realism and unprecedented detail to the bead while retaining the proven benefits of adding shape, flash and weight to sub-surface fly patterns.

 The “nymph eyes” on the beads mimic those of the natural insect, enabling the fly tier to create more effective and realistic imitations of aquatic fish food! As an option, eye colour can be quickly and easily added in seconds by using a fine-tip, enamel paint marker or a permanent, waterproof marker to suit the desired nymph pattern. This offers the fly tier an endless range of colour combinations and fly variations.

I will be offering patterns tied with Nymph-Head™ Beads in 4 colours and five sizes - giving you a wide choice of fishing options.

The range offers beads in the popular, industry standard Gold, Copper, Silver and Black-Nickel finishes.

These colours combined with the option to tint the realistic “nymph eyes" offers the fly tier an almost limitless number of possible colour combinations in the never ending quest for more effective, realistic flies.

Tungsten has almost twice the sink rate of basic brass or zinc-alloy beads, getting your nymph down quickly into the “feeding zone” and increasing your chances of a hookup by as much as 80% every cast.

Additional benefits include:

• Using tungsten beads can reduce your fly tying time since the need to add additional weight to your flies is often eliminated.

• Environmentally more friendly than lead which supports the trend of angling communities to move away from the use of lead or zinc-based alloys.
