Slotted bead color

[EuroOrBust 0]

Buying bulk beads for euro style nymphs, do I get gold, copper, or black? Do people find bead color really matters?

they can be found all over the internet with every color being used

or just start with gold

Depends what I'm tying. For bright colored nymphs or caddis pupae, olive, gray or black nymphs I like black. For tan and brown nymphs I like copper. Don't use silver much unless the body is white or pearl.

I usually use black , my thoughts are the Hot spot color has more bearing then bead color , but there's so many options you can have fun mixing it up and getting creative , they are fun to tie

Silver ... then you can use a little fingernail polish to paint them what ever color you want.

This was my exact thought process

I use gold for 95% of my bead heads. I like the way it looks. Fish do too.

One need not be limited to gold, silver, copper and black...

If you can't get the color you want, use nail polish to color them any (and I mean any) color you need or want.
