Brass conehead beads are a staple fly tying material for building streamer patterns with added weight, flash, and a natural tapered head profile. Designed to slide onto the hook shank, these coneheads help create a more realistic baitfish silhouette while improving how flies move through the water.

Compared to standard round beads, coneheads shift weight forward and give streamers a more aggressive swimming action, making them especially effective for patterns like woolly buggers, bunny leeches, and sculpin imitations.

Designed for Streamer Performance

Conehead beads are commonly used for:

• Woolly buggers
• Bunny leeches
• Sculpin patterns
• Minnow and baitfish imitations

The tapered shape helps flies push water and maintain a natural profile when stripped or swung.

Balanced Weight and Sink Rate

Brass provides a moderate sink rate compared to heavier materials like tungsten, allowing flies to stay in the strike zone longer without dropping too quickly.

This makes them ideal for:

• Moderate depth fishing
• Slower currents
• Situations where a natural drift is important

---

Adds Flash and Attraction

The polished finish of brass coneheads creates subtle flash in the water, helping attract fish without being overly aggressive.

Easy to Use and Versatile

Available in multiple sizes and colors, brass coneheads can be matched to different hook sizes and fly styles, making them a versatile addition to any fly tying setup.
