Reply With QuotePerfect time to stock up with the cold and snow arrival. When bad weather hits it's all I do is paint and tie. I made over 50 yesterday and will be making more today.

Coldest weather in awhile this week
Weather this week is featuring some teens for lows and highs in the thirties and a couple of low 40’s .
Our local pond may get some hard water before the weeks out .
Time to start tying my jig supply for this coming year .
I ordered 300 3.8mm tungsten slotted beads today . They’ll produce a half gram jighead . Slightly lighter than a 1/48oz jig . But smaller , using size 10-12 hooks .
I already have a good supply of hooks . Both jig and in-line streamer hooks .
I usually use a 4.0mm bead but the prices have gone up and after searching around, I found some 3.8mm at a decent price.
I like tiny , micro jigs .

What's a good price for the beads? I've found some for around $0.25 each. Never shopped for em before. I have used hematite beads in the past but never found slotted versions.

Depends on the size . My favorite size is the 4mm . .25 each is about right for 4mm . Last year I was buying them for around $20 per hundred. They’re asking $20+ for fifty now . Almost double . Same brand .Originally Posted by fish_4_any
I was lucky to find some 3.8mm for $12 per hundred. I hope the quality isn’t too bad . Thought I would give them a try for that price .
