How to choose tungsten beads ? (1)
There is a lot of confusion in tying world , especially among beginners.
Difference between tungsten, brass, and lead：
Is good to know that Tungsten is the same metal with Wolfram and in PeriodicTable of Elements by Mendeleev , tungsten has the following symbol: W from Wolfram. The density of this metal is very high: 19,3grams/cmc. To have an idea the density of lead ( Symbol is Pb ) is 11,3grams/cmc. Almost half!! Density of the brass is aprox 8grams/cmc. Brass is an alloy between copper and zinc.

Have your own perceptions：
A tungsten with purity over 95% is expensive because technology used in producing pure metal cost. Who is telling you that will sell you fishing beads with 98% or 100% purity is wrong, because the money should be from 10 time bigger than what you find on market at this hour.

- A very good tungsten bead will have around 95%-96%. A good tungsten bead is around 92% and what is under 90% is low quality.
- Our MUUNN tungsten beads have 97% tungsten,When you compare it with "cheap" tungsten/brass beads, it is easy to see the difference.

There are enough beads to create a vast number of lures and with 4 different colors to choose, your combinations for them is vast. They are tiny and you definitely need a good eye and steady hand. The have a nice shine on all the colors so should be pretty visible to fish when near the surface of the water with how the light would shine off them. They're a great addition to anyone's toolset for fly making.

These are good looking beads, and I want to like them, but the hole is far too small for practical weighted nymph applications. I got the 2.8 mm beads and I couldn't even get them on a size 18 nymph hook. The hole in the bead is too small to thread around the bend of the hook. With a proper size hole, I would have given these a five star rating for quality and value, but unfortunately I will be unable to use them for fly tying.

Nice beads but I question if they're really Tungsten. None of my "actual" tungsten beads are this magnetic if at all. If there's any tungsten in these beads, it's VERY little.

Muunn makes quality beads at a really good price. They mic out right and the finish it great. As to the flies you tie with them that's up to you but the beads are great.
