Thread: Best Place to buy Brass Beads in Large quantities?

    Default Best Place to buy Brass Beads in Large quantities?

    Hi Everyone,
    I hope someone will be able to steer me to the best place to purchase brass beads in large quantities.
    My local shops only carry them in packages of 25's.
    I would like to be able to purchase them in at least quantities of 100.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    P.S. I suppose if I didn't keep losing my nymphs this wouldn't be a problem! LOL.

    there is a guy who sells them on ebay. A little spendy but he does well with them. I do believe he even carries them in 100 and 500 piece lots. I have purchased from him and he has always done right by me. Can't remember his name and have to get back to class if I remember it I will post here later.

    Do a search on this site for "brass beads". qqualls has a good list of sizes available at fairly good prices. He is also a FAOL member.

    I will also recommend that you contact "qqualls" on this site. He is a good person and will do you right. Just send him a PM and he will get back to you.

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.

    I was getting them in 500 lots on eBay. From what I recall...they were going for $15-$20 a lot. Not sure if they still offer it though. What I purchased a couple of years ago will keep my busy for a while yet.

    Just do a search...

    Their beads are used buy Umpqua, they have the best prices, and if you make a $300 order you will be considered a wholesale buyer and get a huge discount off of their already great prices
    They sell 100 packs of brass beads for $4.50.
