Sink Faster, Fish Smarter — Hanak Diamond+ Slotted Tungsten Beads
Hanak Competition Diamond+ beads are the most pure tungsten beads available — no filler, no compromise. Nearly twice as heavy as lead, these beads get your flies to the bottom of the river fast, while keeping your patterns slim, small, and irresistibly realistic.
Why Diamond (Faceted) Beads?
The micro-facets on Hanak Diamond+ beads catch and reflect light from every angle, adding a subtle sparkle that triggers strikes in even the clearest water. The increased surface area also allows micro air-bubbles to cling to the bead — just like real aquatic insects — giving your fly an extra layer of lifelike movement and realism.
Built for Jig Hooks & Euro Nymphing
The slotted design seats tightly against the jig portion of hooks like the Hanak 450 BL and 480 BL, allowing the hook to ride point-up. That means fewer hangups on the bottom and more time in the strike zone — essential for Euro nymphing, Czech nymphing, and competition fly fishing.
