Quick take
Competition-grade tungsten beads for tying nymph patterns, precision molded to exact specifications.
These slotted tungsten beads from TroutLegend come 25 to a bag in a 3.0 mm size and a metallic light pink finish. The slot lets them sit on a jig hook for a weighted head on nymphs aimed at trout. Tying with them is a simple way to add color and sink rate to a fly.
