No reason you can't use plastic beads. If you want a heavier fly just
add some lead wire. Some plastic beads will loose their color after r
they are wet. I had a batch that turned pink after the fly was used
several times.

I wondered about that too. All I have is gold, and plastic regular
craft beads in a variety of colors, including black.. I guess I could
use those craft beads, just have to debarb as they are not taper
drilled... Chuck

Not having any Crow, I am successfully using black wing feathers
from one of my genetic roosters. Has worked well for me since the
Sow bug last Spring. Also not having the black bead, I like Tony
have resorted to the Gold bead. Works for me.
