I am in no way sponsoring these guys… BUT… The deal is incredible.
For those of you that tie your own flies, Jigs etc, You have to check these guys out. Rip Lips Fishing.
I use Tungsten Bead heads a lot especially for tying Chironomids, amongst other things.
For your comparison:
Cabela's 20 Bead heads (depending on size) around $8 plus shipping… 100 of the Exact same bead heads $18 plus $3 shipping… No brainer… Just wanted to share, hope I haven't broken any protocols… but take it from a tier… this is a great deal...

Cool thanks for the heads up.


Another place would be Allen Fly fishing (my uncle told me about them.)  Same tungsten bead in smaller packs, $4.50/25.  Hooks are a great deal too.  They even have a few tutorials on fly tying.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
(I'm not affiliated with them in anyway.)



And if you don't tie, flies are pretty fair priced as well. But if you learn to tie, then you'd think they were highway robbery priced.  But the older I get or the older my eyes get, the easier it is to pay less than a buck for size 20-22 griffiths gnats (even as easy as they are to tie!)

Hello, I'm John Skinner, a real newbee (I work with bees and couldn't resist this). I have not used my tube yet but will soon and am soaking up information for a trip later this month to Quebec.

I have purchased quite a few t. beads from Rip Lips at a great price. I use them to tie tungsten copper john's and two bit hookers.

Thanks for the post and sharing.

John

In reply to Chomps.

I don't tie jigs myself but I plan on doing some later for smallies.
You can use all kinds of threads -like you do for many flies but with jigs you need stronger thicker threads than for small flies. Here is a description of tying jigs I copied from cabelas site. The pictures did not attach, but here is the text. I am sure others can advise you better

"In jig tying the bucktail hair around the jig head, do it in stages. The first step is to get some heavy silk, nylon, or linen thread.

You can also use heavy button cord or sewing thread if you want. White is the best color to use unless you want to match the head or hair with an identical color.

Cut off about a 2-foot length of this thread, wrap a few turns of the thread around the jig head where the bucktail will go, and cover this wrapping with clear quick-drying cement.

Now quickly take a pinch of hair, lay it against the cement, and wrap a few turns of the thread around it. See illustration below. Then add another drop or two of cement, lay another pinch of hair against it, and tie a few more turns of thread around the hair.

Keep doing this until you build up a thick body of hair around the hook, concealing most of it except the point and the barb. See illustration below. It is a good idea to make up several pinches of hair in advance
and lay them on the table to be used as needed.

When you have the full amount of bucktail hair wound on the jig head, finish the jig tying by wrapping the rest of the thread as tightly as possible over the jig. Then end it by tying a series of half-hitches.

Finally, cover the thread wrapping with a heavy coat of clear quick-drying cement.

Best Regards, John

Great find! I will be using them. I was using Allen Fly Fishing, but these Tungsten are a steal.
