    Default Slotted tungsten beads for tying jigs?


    I have started using slotted tungsten beads to make jigheads for my crappie baits. I like the smaller profile of the tungsten head over the larger lead heads. The tungsten beads are fairly pricey. Anyone know of a source for cheaper beads? Don

    I don't know how the price compares but I like buying beads from bwofly. They have really nice quality and colors. I use them all the time for my crappie jigs... Wally World is a good budget option.

    I get my tungsten beads from Amazon.
    I put what I’m looking for in my wish list and wait for the best price .
    Wish I could find a better source.
    Tungsten beads have really allowed me to tie smaller , more proportional jigs that I prefer to use on panfish.
