jt_ncbassman Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Having a hard time finding beads to use as spacers for my topwater/prop baits. I am using twisted wire, and the wire is .065 before being twisted, so Im assuming I need a bead with a diameter of .130. Just hoping that some of you guys might be resourceful about locating beads. I don't have a shop in my area that carries small stainless steel beads. Thanks for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 You can get hollow metal spacer beads from online stores like Janns Netcraft. You can also probably find them in the jewelry making section of a hobby store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Take a look in the dollar store. I find lots of useful things there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdentAngler Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Wally World sells them as well in the craft section, bought a bunch for fly tying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt_ncbassman Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Thanks guys. I'll check these places. Still haven't found any the right size that aren't plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I think most of the ones used on baits are chromed hollow brass balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
