It's a bead head.

Another one I like was developed by one of our local guys who calls it "Bacon" as in everyone likes bacon.

Take a streamer hook, I use Mustad 9672's, add a brass cone head, tie in a maribou tail ala wooly bugger, and wrap the hook shank with crystal chenille. You can use whatever color you like but here in TX we use mostly olive. I'd post a link but the website where it's located is undergoing a software upgrade so it's likely it wouldn't work anyway. It's as simple as it sounds.
