Cause they're so pretty! I usually use tungsten beads on chironomids to get them down.Hey guys! Curious why/when folks use glass vs tungsten beads on midge patterns.
Thanks!
a pic of one...?Glass beads with a silvery inner look like an air bubble underwater, and so imitate that stage of chironomid hatching pretty well. That’s why I use them. I don’t think the fish notice the difference though.
