Overview
An assortment of 60 slotted fly tying beads from XFISHMAN, sized 5/32 inch and made across brass, lead and tungsten materials for nymph patterns.
Slotted beads seat forward on a hook shank ahead of the eye, letting a tier weight a nymph pattern without the bead sliding back into the fibers. Mixing brass, lead and tungsten in one assortment gives a tier different sink rates at the same 5/32 inch size rather than different sizes.

Who it's for
Fly tiers who tie weighted nymph patterns and want a mixed material bead assortment at one bead size. Tiers who need multiple bead diameters in one purchase will need a different product, since this listing is a single size.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Mixed materials give a range of sink rates
- Slotted design seats forward on the hook shank
- 60 beads per pack
- Single bead size, no diameter variety
Performance notes
The slotted design lets each bead seat directly against the hook eye where it sits forward and stays put during casting and fish strikes, while the tungsten beads in the mix sink faster than the brass ones for tiers who want to vary a pattern's drop rate without changing size.
