Could someone tell me the best place to get slotted beads in various sizes and colours.

Tried this site but no reply.

Hi N, Toby at funky fly tying has some slotted beads but don't know if he has any coloured ones. I personally don't like them.

When I say coloured I don't mean yellow and pink etc. More black, copper and gold. Is black a colour?

Slotted beads are by far the best, same weight for a smaller bead, which in turn gives a much better profile to the fly.

On good quality beads the 2.3mm slotted weighs slightly more than the 2.5mm countersunk

Unusual for tungsten beads not to reply, I have sent you a PM
