Quick take
A 24-color ceramic bead assortment with 2-3mm beads that slip easily onto fly tying thread.
This Tigofly set packs 24 colors of small sinking beads, with roughly 200 to 300 beads in each color and two containers for sorting them. The beads measure about 2.62 mm across with a 0.9 mm hole, a size suited to nymph heads and small shrimp, crab or bee-eye patterns at the tying bench. A fly tyer who likes to match colors without reordering will find plenty to work with here.
Best for
- Tying bead head nymphs in a wide color range
- Creating nymph eyes and body segments
- Fly tiers who want to match specific water conditions
Skip if
- You tie simple patterns that don't call for beads
- You need specialty tungsten beads for weighted nymphs
Strengths
- 24 colors let you match hatch and water conditions precisely
- Large quantity (200-300 per color) supports extended tying sessions
- 0.9mm inner hole accommodates standard fly thread
Trade-offs
- Ceramic beads are heavier than glass but lighter than tungsten
- Small beads can scatter easily during storage
- 2.62mm size limits use to smaller nymph patterns
