from 252 reviewsDid my first order and was great. I am an avid fly tyer and I use a lot of beads. Been looking for a "one stop shop" that has great selection, price and customer service. Even though it was my 1st order, was great. Had an email conversation about the offset beads, hoping for my color options and larger sizes. Keep up the great work and ill keep coming back.
Great beads , great company,great service!!!
Saluda was suggested to me by a fellow fly tier. I placed an order and was contacted by Saluda to confirm my selection to avoid any errors. This is the only company I am aware of that allows custom selection. The beads arrived in a timely manner with a hand written thank you for my order. The beads are as expected and at a low cost. I would not hesitate to purchase from Saluda in the future.
great beads. consistent sizing and very high quality. highly recommended!
Saluda Beads never disappoints! Great customer service. Several times I’ve mistakenly ordered the wrong beads and they always double check prior to shipping. I highly recommend this company. The beads are not sloppy like some you buy from others.
Superb customer service! They noticed I accidentally selected a countersunk bead while the rest of my order was for slotted. So, they Emailed me to confirm I meant to select slotted, rather than mindlessly sending me the countersunk beads I did not mean to choose. Also, this is the best deal on tungsten beads I’ve yet to come across!
Love this innovative approach to selling/buying hooks. I can “top up” easily and experiment more. The shape, sharpness and strength of the hooks are superb as well. Will definitely be using Saluda for my ongoing bead and hook needs. I sure hope you take this mix and match approach to other materials as well!! Thanks for the welcome disruption to how things are done.
Saluda Beads reminds of my local Ace store where I can buy the quantities of items I need. I love the mix and match approach. It allows for a lot of choice and flexibility. As a non-commercial fly tier, often my application requires smaller quantities and I am not locked into buying standard amounts and then having beads sit on my table for years. This approach accommodates experimentation. The beads themselves are really good quality. I’d love to see this approach with other materials as well. Instead of buying yards of chenille to tie a few San Juan Worms, buying a selection of colors in smaller lengths would be advantageous.
Beads and hooks are top notch. Strong sharp hooks and tight fitting beads. Shipping is fast and quality is unmatched !!
Will order again. They even made sure my order was correct as there was on discrepancy that they noticed. Thanks
Awesome how you can select many different colors and sizes of beads in 1 order! Super duper colors too!
Excellent quality beads, tight tolerances that make these beads easier to work with on the hook.
Very happy with product. Being able to create my own assortment was great. No one else offers this that I could find
The beads amazing! They are extremely consistent, and I haven't had any issues with them. The customer service is top-notch, and their hooks (especially the jig wides and czech wides) are especially sharp.
If you are on the fence about ordering, just do it! You won't regret it!
Here are some chironomids tied on the Czech Wides with some Saluda Beads!
I’ve placed several orders with Saluda beads t and I’m sure I’ll be placing many more fast service always correct.Great product that doesn’t break the bank!!! The hooks are spot on also keep up the good work guys! Thanks Ron
