I have been trying some slotted tungsten beads with jig hooks and I do have a couple questions including who has these for a good price in larger quantities?

I did see the post below, but either one didn't give a full list and the one that had a better price I went to the link, but error/no flyshop showed up.

Here is a couple picture of my jigs using the beads and one thing I want to know is how would it be best to keep the bead from going down to the eye quite as much. I tried a little thread, but maybe not enough, however that makes me thing that the bead may over time cut the thread holding it up off the eye a bit?


Here is one that I would have liked the head/bead to be a little higher. Don't think the fish will care, but you know the fisherman is first to please, LOL!


I am using the 5.5 MM and the 4 MM size so far and may try some 3 MM or 3.5 MM.

Any help with this would be appreciated for sure.
