Firehole Stones is the full tungsten bead line from Firehole Outdoors. Round beads for standard nymph hooks, slotted beads for jig hooks and Euro rigs, speckled finishes in both, and tear drop bodies for flies that need the weight forward.
Every bead is 95% tungsten alloy, about 18 g/cm³, roughly 1.6 times the density of lead. Bores are drilled clean so thread does not fray on the way through, and slots are cut to seat on 60 and 90 degree jig shanks without wobble. A 3.0mm bead weighs what a 3.0mm bead should weigh, batch to batch, which is the whole reason to buy beads from one place.
Sizes run 1.5mm to 4.5mm depending on style. Solid finishes come in 23 colors, speckled in 11 colorways. Pair them with Firehole Sticks and the hook and bead are sized to work together from the start. Browse the full Stones line below.
