Fulling Mill Brass Beads - Copper S2.8mm

They are made of brass with a durable metal coating designed to resist chipping and tarnishing.

A countersunk bead has an angled or tapered hole that allows it to sit flush against the hook shank or other tying materials, creating a neater profile and preventing it from snagging.

Each pack contains 50 beads.

They are available in 2mm, 2.4mm, 2.8mm, 3.2mm, and 3.8mm.

While they are tarnish-resistant, prolonged exposure to saltwater is not recommended without proper drying. They are primarily designed for freshwater applications.

The metal coating is designed to be highly durable and resistant to chipping and wear during normal fishing conditions.

The primary benefit is adding weight to fly patterns, which helps them sink faster and achieve better depth, improving presentation in various fishing conditions.

Ensure you are using the correct bead size for your hook shank. For additional security, use a small amount of super glue or head cement to fix the bead in place before proceeding with tying.

Inspect the bead closely. If chipping is present, it may be a rare manufacturing defect. Contact the retailer for a possible exchange. Otherwise, ensure you are not subjecting the bead to excessive force during the tying process.

You may have used a bead size that is too large for the intended fly pattern or fishing conditions. Consider using a smaller size bead in future ties or for different water types.
