Killer Caddis Glass Beads are smooth glass beads designed to add weight, flash, and realistic segmentation to caddis and other small fly patterns. Their polished surface provides a subtle reflective quality while the compact profile works well on nymphs and emerging insects. They are easy to incorporate into a variety of beadhead patterns for trout and other freshwater species.
