Category 3 Hare & Copper - Copper Tungsten Bead

Bead and rib in the same metal, and it looks it

The copper bead is the version that matches the fly to itself: the same warm metal as the wire rib running through the body, so nothing on the fly reads as a separate bright object. That coherence makes it a good middle ground between a gold bead that shouts and a black one that says nothing at all. It comes into its own in tea-stained and tannin water where copper glows rather than glares. A sound default if you only want to carry one Hare & Copper.
