Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

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...

Good Fishing

Thanks tech Guru Leo!

LOL! You know you can find this link in the dark, with your eyes closed, with the simple raise of your finger and breath of boredom David.

have bought from them in the past.got 3.5mm yellow ,pink and glow.14.99 per hundred and 3.oo shipping for all.i buy from them on ebay.you can get even better deals at times .unless you want tungsten ,which has unique properties,brass beads are much cheaper and additional weight can be added with lead wire tied into the upper body of the fly.nothing will make a fly dart thru the water like tungsten can at twice the weight for its size.i love it and use alot of tung beads.they are expensive even when you get a good deal.
