Overview
These slotted tungsten beads are built for fly and jig patterns that need added weight in a compact size. The enlarged slot recess is designed to make hook placement easier around the gape, which is useful when tying small, weighted flies. At 1.5 mm and finished in black nickel, they come 10 per bag and are suited to anglers looking to add weight without changing the overall profile of the pattern.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Sized at 1.5 mm (1/16 inch), these beads are intended for very small fly and jig setups, so they may not suit larger patterns or heavier presentations.
- The enlarged slot recess is helpful for hook placement, but the slotted design is specific to compatible hook gapes and may not fit every pattern equally well.
- Pack quantity is 10 beads, which is practical for testing or tying a few flies, but may be limited for high-volume tying sessions.
- The black nickel finish is a color specification rather than a performance claim, so appearance may be the main differentiator for this version.
