Do-It Beads 3/16" Brass 100ct
Do-It Beads 3/16" Brass 100ct are small solid brass beads designed for anglers building and customizing their own lures. Whether you're assembling spinners, creating buzz-spin rigs, or tying weighted jigs, these brass beads serve double duty as both functional components and finishing touches. A 100-count pack gives you plenty to work with across multiple lure builds without constantly reordering.
Brass beads work as bearing surfaces that let spinner blades rotate freely and smoothly—critical if you want your blade to flash and vibrate the way it should. On weighted spinners and spinner jigs, they slide onto wire or monocore and position your blade exactly where you need it. The 3/16" size is versatile enough for panfish to bass applications, and brass takes abuse well in freshwater and holds up better than softer materials when you're pounding structure or dealing with sandy bottom.
If you tie or assemble your own lures, keeping a stock of quality brass beads on hand means you can repair damaged rigs quickly or experiment with new designs without the markup of pre-built tackle. These are the unglamorous backbone of DIY lure craft—small, simple, and essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
What lure types use 3/16" brass beads?
The 3/16" size works on spinner blades, weighted spinners, spinner jigs, and buzz-spin lures. They're small enough for panfish and bass applications and serve as bearing surfaces to keep blades rotating freely.
Can I use brass beads to repair existing spinners?
Yes. If a blade on one of your spinners isn't rotating smoothly or a bead is damaged, you can replace it with a new one from this pack. The 3/16" size is a common standard across many spinner designs.
Why use brass instead of other materials?
Brass is durable, resists corrosion in freshwater, and provides a smooth surface for blade rotation. It's a proven material choice in lure building and holds up well to repeated use and contact with structure.
How many lures can I build with 100 beads?
That depends on your lure design. Most spinners and spinner jigs use one or two beads per lure, so a 100-count pack will support dozens of builds or repairs.
