## **Why Choose Brass Coneheads?**
Brass coneheads are a popular choice among fly tiers for several reasons:
1. **Durability & Corrosion Resistance** – Unlike cheaper alternatives, brass resists rust and maintains its shine even after prolonged use in freshwater and saltwater.
2. **Weight Distribution** – The dense nature of brass helps flies sink faster, making them ideal for nymphs, streamers, and other subsurface patterns.
3. **Flash & Attraction** – The polished brass finish reflects light underwater, mimicking the flash of baitfish or insects.
4. **Chartreuse Color Advantage** – The bright chartreuse coating enhances visibility in murky water or low-light conditions, triggering aggressive strikes.

When selecting coneheads, it’s important to consider the following factors:
### **1. Size & Weight (4mm, 5/32″)**
– The **4mm (5/32″)** size is versatile—large enough to add weight for deeper presentations but small enough to maintain a natural profile.
– Ideal for **streamers, woolly buggers, and beadhead nymphs**.
### **2. Chartreuse Finish**
– Chartreuse is a proven fish-attracting color, especially for bass, trout, and panfish.
– Works well in stained water or when fish are keying in on bright prey.
### **3. 100-Count Packaging**
– A bulk pack ensures you have enough coneheads for multiple fly patterns without frequent reordering.
– Great for commercial tiers or anglers who tie in large quantities.

## **How to Use Brass Coneheads in Fly Tying**
### **1. Streamers & Woolly Buggers**
– Slide the conehead onto the hook shank before tying in materials.
– The added weight helps the fly sink quickly, while the brass flash mimics fleeing baitfish.
### **2. Nymphs & Wet Flies**
– Use smaller coneheads (like the 4mm) as a substitute for traditional brass beads.
– The chartreuse color can imitate egg sacks or add extra visibility.
### **3. Saltwater Flies**
– Brass resists corrosion, making it suitable for saltwater patterns like Clousers or crab imitations.
– The weight helps flies cut through currents and reach deeper zones.

## **Comparison: Brass vs. Tungsten Coneheads**
While brass is a great choice, some anglers prefer tungsten for extra density. Here’s how they compare:
| Feature | Brass Coneheads | Tungsten Coneheads |
|———|—————-|——————-|
| **Weight** | Good for moderate sink rates | Heavier, faster sink |
| **Cost** | More affordable | More expensive |
| **Durability** | Corrosion-resistant | Extremely durable |
| **Flash** | High polish for reflection | Duller finish |
For most applications, brass offers the best balance of **cost, flash, and functionality**.

## **Final Tips for Choosing the Right Coneheads**
1. **Match the Hook Size** – Ensure the conehead’s inner diameter fits your hook shank (5/32″ works well for sizes 6-10).
2. **Consider Water Conditions** – Use chartreuse in stained water and brass in clear water for flash.
3. **Experiment with Patterns** – Try coneheads on different flies to see what triggers more strikes.
