Overview
These tungsten slotted beads are made for flies and jigs where getting down quickly matters, and the 2.3 mm size with an enlarged slot recess helps simplify hook placement around the gape. The black nickel finish gives the bead a clean, understated look, while the tungsten alloy construction keeps the profile compact for weighted patterns. Sold in bags of 10, they suit anglers building small, purpose-driven flies that need added weight without adding bulk.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Sized at 2.3 mm (3/32 inch), these beads are intended for a specific hook and fly size range, so they may not suit larger patterns or heavier jig builds.
- The enlarged slot recess helps with hook placement, but the slotted design is still a fit-specific component that may require a little more attention during tying than a standard round bead.
- Each bead is designed around a 0.09 gm target weight, so they are best viewed as a precise weighting option rather than a versatile all-purpose bead.
- Pack count is 10 beads, which is practical for testing or a small run of flies, but may be limiting if you tie in larger quantities.
