Umpqua's Tungsten Slotted Beads
Perfect for jig-style and competition flies, Umpqua’s slotted tungsten beads are crafted to slide easily over curved hooks and tight bends. Made from premium, chip-resistant tungsten, they’re nearly twice as heavy as brass—helping your patterns sink faster and stay deeper longer. Precision-engineered slots ensure a snug, balanced fit on modern barbless hooks for optimal performance and durability.
These are the best beads on the market, in our opinion.
