Why Choose Slotted Tungsten Beads
Slotted tungsten beads offer many advantages over traditional brass or lead beads. First and foremost, they are much denser and heavier than other beads, allowing your flies to sink quicker and get down to those hard-to-reach fish in deeper water. This extra weight also helps to create a realistic movement in the water, making your fly look more enticing to fish.
Slotted tungsten fly tying beads are designed to be used on jig fly tying hooks, allowing the hook to ride hook point up. You will be able to keep your fly close to the bottom without snagging. Increase quantity of your opportunities spending less time snagged.
Fly Customization
One of the best things about using slotted tungsten beads is that they offer endless possibilities for customization. With a wide variety of sizes and colors available, you can mix and match to create unique color and size combinations in your nymphs and streamers.
Benefits That Elevate Your Fishing Experience
Sink Faster, Fish Deeper: Tungsten is heavier than brass, giving your flies the extra weight needed to sink quickly without additional split shot. This ensures your fly reaches the desired depth faster, putting it right in the strike zone.
Enhanced Sensitivity: Tungsten's density removes slack and offers greater sensitivity when fishing under an indicator or tightline nymphing, allowing you to detect even the slightest bites and strikes. This improved feedback helps you set the hook at the perfect moment, increasing your chances of a good hookset.
Sustainability and Durability Combined
Tungsten is a non-toxic material, making it an environmentally friendly option for fly tying. Additionally, its durable nature ensures these beads will last through countless fishing trips.
A Must-Have Addition to Your Fly Materials
Slotted tungsten beads are quickly becoming a staple in every fly fisherman's toolkit. Whether you're targeting trout, bass, carp, or panfish.
How to Use Slotted Tungsten Fly Tying Beads
Select the right size bead for your fly pattern, ensuring it fits snugly over the hook shank and sits just behind the eye, with the small round hole towards the eye of the hook, and the slot toward the bend of the hook. The slotted design allows the bead to slide around the bend of any hook effortlessly, making it ideal for various fly-tying applications.
Reviews
I ordered a bunch of the wrong type of tungsten beads. I needed them to be slotted. Wholesale Fly Company refunded my purchase amount as soon as they received the beads back. They went out of their way to help me order the correct size and color of slotted tungsten beads. I want to add that they have great prices for fly tying materials.
I have purchased many tungsten beads from WFC and I have never been disappointed with a purchase. They have quality beads and shipping is fast. I give away many of the flies I tie to friends and no one complains about the quality of the products I use.
I have been ordering from WFC for a couple years now. I have informed my veteran fly fishing group about the company as well. They are now using WFC as well. The products are very good and you can't beat the prices. Matt gets your orders out fast and they are packaged very well. Top notch company.
I ordered a 100 pack of slotted tungsten beads from WFC. Priced right, fast shipping and look forward to doing more business with them in the near future!!!
These are great beads at a great value. They offer the 25 count which is a great starter pack. The 100 are a super value. I have quite a few of the colors metalic and painted. Just ordered more again.
