Hareline Counter Sunk Tungsten Beads are the perfect bead for all of your heavy nymphs. They are a standard and predictably quality bead. Because they are countersunk they fit over the bend of the hook better than non-counter sunk beads.
Uses
Patterns and Tying Techniques - Typically, Hareline Counter Sunk Tungsten Beads are used to tie bead head nymphs. They can also be used to tie streamers with bead heads and can help get your flies down quicker.
Comparisons
Hareline Slotted Tungsten Beads vs Hareline Countersunk Tungsten Beads - Slotted Tungsten beads are designed to use with jig hooks. They are heavier than the countersunk beads because the slot removes less material. The slot also allows the use of a bigger bead on a smaller hook.
Example Flies
Nymphs - These beads are perfect for any of your bead head nymph patterns including, Pheasant Tails, Gold Ribbed Hares Ears, and Prince Nymphs. They can be used on streamers like the Zonker and Rolled Muddler to add weight.
