The beads are vibrant and easy to work with. I used them in a few nymph patterns and they sink well without being too heavy. The cyclops design fits the hook perfectly and the color makes the flies stand out in the water.

Great for adding weight to streamers. The paint is durable and the beads stay in place during casting. I noticed they sink slower than tungsten, which is perfect for my current conditions.
