Hareline Hump Back Glass Beads

With a unique shape, Hareline's Hump Back Glass Beads make it easy to achieve perfectly segmented bodies on nymphs, scuds, midges, and more. With their asymmetrical shape, you can put these beads on the head of the fly or add a few together to create a body. A glass construction remains durable while keeping things lighter than metal beads, and with a ton of color options, you can find the perfect option whether you're imitating caddis larvae or tying bright attractor patterns.

Uses

The Hump Back Glass Beads have a unique shape that has a sort of bubble effect. This allows you to add them to the head of your fly for a more natural look than perfectly round beads, and you can also slide a few onto the shank to easily make a naturally segmented body. Even better, the translucent glass construction allows you to wrap thread on the body that will glow through the beads.

Comparisons

Since Hareline's Hump Back Glass Beads have a hump-backed shape, there isn't a bead that's super similar. However, if you want the look and lightweight construction of a glass bead and are okay with a more symmetrical shape, then D's Flyes Tyer Glass Beads are the perfect choice. Tyer Glass Beads are glass beads that can be used as a head or to create bodies, and they offer the same translucent look and durable construction as the Hump Back Glass Beads.
