Hareline Mottled Tactical Tungsten Beads

These high-density tungsten beads get your patterns down fast while the mottled finish adds a buggy look that fish can’t resist. The countersunk design makes them easy to slide onto the hook and seat securely, giving your flies a clean, balanced profile.

Built for versatility and performance, they’re perfect for dialing in sink rate on nymphs, beefing up streamers, or bringing custom creations to life. The added density helps you achieve quick depth and tighter contact, improving drift control, strike detection, and overall presentation in moving or still water. The mottled surface breaks up light and adds a natural, lifelike appearance that triggers more eats in pressured conditions.

Here at Schultz Outfitters, we love using these to put “under the hood” of our Leggy Boi Changers. They add just the right amount of weight to make that articulated pattern come alive in the water—tracking true, kicking on the pause, and staying in the strike zone longer.

Whether you’re tying minimalist attractors or ultra-realistic imitations, these tungsten beads deliver pro-level performance and fishy appeal. Easy to use at the vise, durable on the water, and dialed for tactical fly tying, they’re a go-to choice when you need more weight, better balance, and a stealthy, natural look.
