Tungsten Beads on Jiig hooks

I am pretty sure I posted a few of this kind a good while back, maybe even 2 years back just not sure when. Any way here are some I tied. Some are facted and some smooth, and even some with color.

i like those jig heads man good job looks like a disco ball

Skip where did you get them... They look awesome.

The jigs? I tied them, LOL! Just kidding.

I bought them from one of the fly shop or wholesale places. I did look into getting a bunch for a little less cost for a guy I found, but I would need to buy more than I want and since there are so many colors and then faceted or non faceted and the colors. I have had them for a couple of years so would need to look it up for sure to know where I bought the ones I have. They don't seem to sell very well though and another reason I didn't follow through after I found a better place to buy them.

hey skip you able to heat them like you do with the plated heads, and put the candy colors over them? or do the discolor when you heat them???

Ya know Bug, I don't know because the ones that have a color came like that. I have never tried that, but I suppose if you could figure a way to heat, paint them and you had a way to cure it without touching the outside with something that would hold it, I guess you probably could. I have not tried painting them at all though, but I may need to see if I can find something to hold them while curing without messing up the paint on the out side. They are perry loose on the hook until you tie them in place.

im on the candy color kick right now lol...I have went back to tying alot of 1/80- 1/64- and- 1/32 oz jigs.

Love the candy colors my self, but I guess you know that though. I am gonna think on that for a while and see what I can come up with.
