Tungsten balls

Tungsten beads for fly tying

This category brings together tungsten beads for fly tying in a wide range of colours and finishes. The active range includes Textreme and JMC beads in black, copper, gold, silver, white, metallic, fluorescent and phosphorescent options.

Why use tungsten?

Tungsten adds weight to a fly in a compact size. It is commonly used on nymphs and other weighted patterns when a faster sink rate or a more stable profile is required.

Choose colour and finish

Natural, metallic, fluorescent and contrasting finishes let you match the bead to the intended fly style. The bead can remain discreet or act as a strong visual trigger depending on the pattern.

Match the bead to the hook

Check bead diameter and hook compatibility before choosing. A bead that is too large or too small can upset the proportions of the finished fly.

Handling and storage

Small tungsten beads are easy to lose, so handle them carefully during tying and store them in a suitable container. Exact diameters and pack quantities vary by reference.
