FAQs About Tungsten Beads

What are the benefits of tungsten beads for fly tying?

Tungsten beads are popular among fly tiers for several reasons, with their weight being a key advantage over lead. The high density of tungsten allows for smaller bead sizes to achieve the necessary weight for sinking flies quickly in the water, making them ideal for creating nymph patterns that imitate aquatic insects at various depths.

Additionally, these beads provide excellent durability and longevity so that the flies tied with them are robust and able to withstand multiple fishing sessions. This durability is especially crucial for nymph patterns that are often fished in rocky or gravelly riverbeds where flies are prone to friction and abrasion.

Which hooks do you use with countersunk beads?

For these countersunk beads, we recommend using regular fishing hooks and slotted beads for jig hooks. You can shop for hooks, fly lines, and other beads and eyes on our website.
