Overview

Montana Fly Company’s Slotted Tungsten Beads are built for modern Euro nymphing and jig-style flies, offering the weight and balance you need to get your patterns down fast and into the strike zone. Crafted from dense tungsten and precision-slotted, these beads fit perfectly on jig hooks or barbless competition-style hooks, allowing for proper orientation and hook point-up presentation. The slotted design not only simplifies tying but also helps shift the fly’s center of gravity for more consistent bottom-tracking and snag resistance.

Available in a range of mottled and matte finishes, these beads reduce flash and enhance realism—perfect for pressured fish and clear water conditions. Sizes range from 2.0mm (5/64") to 3.8mm (5/32"), giving you options for micro bugs, standard nymphs, and larger anchor flies. Whether you're building tactical Euro patterns or simply need a better-weighted option for deep runs, these beads are a reliable, well-finished choice for serious fly tyers.Read More +
