Combining a perfectly round look with a super heavy tungsten build, Hanak’s Competition Round+ Slotted Tungsten Beads are an excellent addition to your jig-style patterns when you want a clean appearance and a fast sink. These countersunk beads are great for tying most jig-style flies, and their range of colors and sizes ensures that you can always make the right choice. Whether you’re fishing in a swift system of water and need to get down quickly or hitting the deep pools that require serious weight, Hanak makes your approach nice and easy with their Competition Round+ Slotted Tungsten Beads. 

Uses

The Competition Round+ Slotted Tungsten Beads from Hanak are used anytime you want a neat head on your flies while also providing some serious weight. These beads are perfect for nymphs, Euro nymphs, larvae, streamers, and egg patterns, and they make your flies nice and heavy without any additional bulk. 

Comparisons

A great alternative to Hanak’s Competition Fluo+ Slotted Tungsten Beads is Hareline’s Slotted Tungsten Beads. These beads are very heavy, come in a range of different colors, and also feature the slotted construction necessary for accommodating jig patterns. Both of these beads are excellent options for tying heavy patterns, and the main difference is that Hareline’s Slotted Tungsten Beads come in a wider range of colors and they aren’t quite as round, so if you’re looking for a specific shade or a very round appearance to your fly’s head, they may be a better choice for the application.
