Overview
Skylety's fly tying bead set packs 120 metal beads in three sizes (2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm) and three finishes (black nickel, gold, silver), sorted into a compartmented plastic box for tying weighted nymphs and streamers.
Beads like these thread onto the hook shank before the fly is tied, adding weight to sink the pattern and a bit of flash near the head. Buying a mixed lot rather than a single size and finish lets a tier match different hook sizes and light conditions without stocking several separate packages. The plastic box keeps the three sizes and colors from mixing at the vise.
- 120 beads total in the set
- 3 sizes: 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm
- 3 finishes: black nickel, gold, silver
- Includes a plastic storage box
Who it's for
Fly tiers building bead head nymphs or small streamers who want a range of sizes and metallic finishes on hand. Not the right fit for someone who needs one specific bead size in bulk for a repeated pattern.
Pros and cons
- Three sizes and three finishes in one kit
- Compartmented box keeps beads sorted
- Metal beads add weight and flash to flies
- No single size available in bulk
- Exact bead hole size not listed
Performance notes
Metal beads add weight to help a fly sink and reflect light to add flash at the head, which is why they're common on bead head nymphs. The three included sizes cover a typical range for hooks in roughly the 12-18 range, though the bead hole diameter itself isn't listed, so it's worth checking that it clears the hook wire gauge you tie on.
