Top Brass Glass Beads 8mm 20ct Crawfish

Top Brass Glass Beads in 8mm (20-count pack, Crawfish finish) are fire-hardened, precision-cut beads designed to add both flash and function to your lure rigs and terminal tackle setups. Whether you're building custom crankbaits, adding shimmer to soft plastics, or protecting knots in your live-bait rigs, these beads offer the reflective qualities that trigger strikes while doing the heavy lifting of knot protection.

The Crawfish color option brings natural appeal to freshwater setups targeting bass, walleye, and pike. Each bead is polished to create flat, light-reflective surfaces that catch movement and sunlight underwater—exactly what fish notice in murky water and low-light conditions. The central hole is cleanly bored and smoothly finished, so there's no sharp edges to fray or weaken your line during rigging or in the water.

A practical choice for anglers who build their own lures or rig live bait presentations, these beads work well between a weight and your terminal knot to absorb impact and extend knot life. Twenty beads per pack gives you plenty for experimenting with different rigs or building a complete set of custom lures without running short mid-season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are these beads used for in fishing?

Glass beads like these serve two main purposes: they add reflective flash to attract fish to your lure or rig, and they protect your terminal knot from damage caused by weights or sinkers hammering on the knot during casting and retrieval. Many anglers use them between a weight and their hook or swivel knot.

Will the hole damage my fishing line?

No. The center hole is cleanly bored and polished smooth, so there are no sharp edges to fray or weaken your line. This finish is a key quality feature of Top Brass beads.

What size rod and reel setup will work with 8mm beads?

The 8mm size is versatile and works with most freshwater spinning and baitcasting setups. They're commonly paired with medium-power rods for bass, walleye, and pike fishing, but the exact setup depends on your target species and fishing method.

How many rigs can I build with this 20-bead pack?

That depends on how many beads you use per rig—some anglers use one bead per setup, others use two or more. With 20 beads, you have plenty to experiment with different configurations or build a complete set of custom lures.
