Bead Heads

Where can I pick up bead heads for nymph tying in bulk. The best I can find is a pack of 20 or so at a local fly shop.

    Cabelas.  100 for $7.99.  Comes in 4 colors--copper, gold, black and silver as I recall.

    kid you might look into tungsten beads they are 70% heavier the brass beads they will
    keep that bead head in the strike zone.they are a lil more expencive but omits the need for shot on your leader
    in most situations

    I didn't say these are the ten suggestions

    Tungsten is nice but its very expensive. Plus unless your fishing REALLY deep runs, you dont need it. I use them... sparingly.

    Yup^
    A brass bead with a few lead wraps will sink them like Tung.
    Tungsten will be expensive $7.99 per 20 to $9.95 per 20 you can get a 100 brass beads from PR for that price.
