{"product_id":"articulation-beads-6mm","title":"Articulation Beads 6mm","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe secret behind truly lifelike and tangle-free articulated flies often lies in the small details. Articulation Beads 6mm are designed specifically for finishing the joint sections of large predator flies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eWhen connecting two hooks or shanks with wire or heavy mono, a bare connection is prone to wear and stiffness. This 6mm bead acts like a ball bearing at the joint: it separates the fly sections, reduces friction, and enables the rear section to move freely and enticingly in the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eAdditionally, the bead serves as an important spacer. It prevents the trailing hook or tail from wrapping around the front hook bend during casting (fouling) – a common problem in long pike flies without a bead. A wide color range lets you either create a discreet connection or add a bright hotspot to the fly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhy Articulation Beads?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBearing effect\u003c\/b\u003e – The round bead lets the rear section move smoothly in every direction without snagging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAnti-fouling\u003c\/b\u003e – Acts as a buffer that prevents the rear from flipping and tangling with the front hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eClean finish\u003c\/b\u003e – Hides the ugly wire loop or knot from view, giving the fly a professional look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHotspot\u003c\/b\u003e – Bright and fluorescent colors serve as a trigger point that predators often target with their strike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDurable material\u003c\/b\u003e – Hard material that withstands wire abrasion and fish teeth without cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIdeal for:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003eGame Changer-style multi-section flies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003eIntruder patterns and articulated streamers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"\u003eBetween pike fly shank sections\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\"\u003eProtecting stinger hook connections\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6mm (Optimal for pike and musky-class flies) \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"62\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Durable synthetic polymer \/ plastic \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"113\"\u003eUse:\u003c\/b\u003e Threaded onto connection wire between hook\/shank eye and tying point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fly Dressing","offers":[{"title":"Orange","offer_id":57244171141494,"sku":null,"price":2.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chartreuse","offer_id":57244171174262,"sku":null,"price":2.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/3418\/4822\/files\/beads_2.png?v=1770411895","url":"https:\/\/esoxfly.com\/en\/products\/articulation-beads-6mm","provider":"Esox Fly","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
