Description / Fulling Mill Tungsten Beads
Fulling Mill Tungsten Beads are an essential component for any serious fly tier, designed to add incredible weight to your patterns and get them down to the strike zone quickly. These beads provide a fast-sinking profile without adding unnecessary bulk, making them the perfect solution for nymphing and streamer patterns.
With a legacy spanning over six decades, Fulling Mill is one of the world's leading manufacturers of premium fishing flies and fly tying materials. Based in the UK, the brand has built its reputation on a foundation of quality, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to the needs of serious fly anglers.
The beads are formed from high-density tungsten powder, which is molded into perfectly round, seamless spheres. The beads are then finished with a proprietary coating process that ensures a durable, chip-resistant finish in a variety of metallic and vibrant colours. The precise sizing of the bead is a key part of the process, ensuring consistency from one bead to the next.
The defining feature of these beads is their tungsten construction. Tungsten is far denser than lead, allowing you to add more weight to a fly without increasing its size. This helps your nymphs and streamers sink quickly to the bottom, where the fish are holding. The beads are smooth and feature a countersunk hole, which makes them easy to slide onto a hook and gives your fly a clean, streamlined finish. They are available in a variety of finishes, from classic metallic colours to bright fluorescent options, allowing you to add both weight and a powerful visual trigger to your flies.
Fulling Mill Tungsten Beads are available in a comprehensive range of sizes to suit different hook sizes and fishing conditions, from 2.0mm to 5.5mm. They are also available in a wide variety of finishes and colours.
Key features:
High quality metal coated
Won’t chip or tarnish
Perfect for adding weight to nymph patterns
Quantity: 25 per pack
