I'm not sure about the status of Beatty's business. I thought I heard they were retiring. But their website appears to be alive and offering items for sale. I know they had a booth at the NW Fly Tyers Expo this year. You could try contacting them.
No, the Beatty's sold their business, and there is another couple running it now.

I Have not used this company. But the price is best I have found. I pLan on ordering a couple of sized to try them out. Will post after
10$ / 100 count.
Those are the cheapest prices I've ever seen.
Hi Stcroixguy;
Did you place and receive your order for beads yet?
It was too good a deal for me to pass up especially since I'm low on beads anyway, should receive my order by the end of this week.

Here's another good company I've dealt with for hooks, reels, rods, etc.
They also have brass and tungsten beads, cones, beadchain, dumbbell eyes, etc.
