Made an attempt to tie up a couple of jigs with that popular sowbug color. They are 1/34oz and 1 1/4" long.

I was thinking the same thing as Deepfry. Is it special or just a sewing pin? The spawn is days away here, I think, and one of those in gray would be a knockout under a cork. Really like the idea.
I use both of these. The sequin pins for smaller beads and the 18 gauge brass pins for the larger ones. I cut the pin shafts to be slightly shorter than the hook shaft. I also can adjust the bead distance from the hook eye for balance purposes is I want to.Attachment 392588Attachment 392589

I use tungsten and brass fly tying beads a lot. However this one is a solid brass bead that is used to make in line spinners. They come in many sizes. Got mine from Netcraft. Hope this helps you.
