Uses

The Spirit River Hot Tungsten Beads are best used for adding quick weight in hot attractor colors. And while these beads make a great head, they can also be worked into the thorax of a fly for an easy hotspot that sinks quickly. A great addition to just about any nymph, streamer, leech, or crustacean fly, the Spirit River Hot Tungsten Beads are tough to beat. 

Comparisons

Spirit River’s Hot Tungsten Beads are both made of tungsten and feature bright colors, which isn’t a super common combination found in beads. However, these beads can be compared to both regular tungsten beads and Hareline’s Dazzle Brass Beads. Tungsten Beads are made of tungsten and sink quickly, just like the Hot Tungsten Beads. On the other hand, Hareline’s Dazzle Brass Beads feature similar bright colors, yet brass doesn’t sink nearly as quickly as tungsten. So if you’re looking for a fast-sinking bead that comes in bright colors, the Spirit River Tungsten Beads are tough to beat.
