Boost the performance and sink rate of your nymphs and streamers with these premium slotted tungsten football beads. Designed specifically for modern fly tying, they offer maximum weight in a compact profile, helping your flies reach the strike zone quickly and stay there longer.
The football shape adds extra stability and a natural jigging action, making them ideal for euro nymphing patterns, jig-style flies, and any subsurface setup where control and sensitivity matter. The precision slot allows these beads to slide easily around the bend of jig and barbless hooks, while still seating securely at the eye for clean, balanced flies.
Crafted from high-density tungsten, these beads are significantly heavier than brass, allowing you to tie slimmer, more lifelike profiles without sacrificing depth. Multiple finishes and size options let you fine-tune the look and weight of each pattern, whether you’re tying subtle, natural imitations or high-contrast attractor flies.
