from 120 reviewsI had a minor glitch in my latest order and they resolved it quickly and graciously. These guys have a great product along with sterling customer service.
Have not tied with these yet, however after inspection the appear to be of good quality; they did not break in the vice and were nicely sharp. I believe they will be of exceptional quality and given the price, I will probably be buying more.
If you’re serious about fly tying, do yourself a favor and check out Saluda Beads—they’ve absolutely earned a permanent spot on my bench.
The quality of their hooks and beads is second to none. Every hook I’ve used has been razor-sharp right out of the pack, consistent in size, and strong enough to handle hard-fighting fish without question. Their beads are equally impressive—clean finishes, perfectly sized, and with color options that really make your flies stand out in the water. You can tell right away that these materials aren’t just good—they’re dependable, which matters when you’re tying for success on the water or for a cause.
But what truly sets Saluda Beads apart is their customer service. It’s rare these days to find a company that genuinely cares about its customers, but they go above and beyond. Whether you’ve got a question about materials, need help picking the right sizes, or just want advice, they take the time to help—and they treat you like you matter. That kind of support makes a huge difference.
Bottom line: top-tier materials, outstanding consistency, and customer service that feels personal. Saluda Beads isn’t just a supplier—they’re a trusted partner for any fly tyer.
Great Stuff
Great Quality
Great beads Great price and very fast shipping will buy again from them
The only place I would buy beads or hooks. Both are high quality and very reasonable priced.
I've been very pleased with Saluda Beads. The beads are great quality. They had the colors and sizes I needed in stock, and they sell in bulk at a reasonable price!
I really like the position of the eye of the hook..these will be my hooks of choice when tying
The quality of the beads, hooks, and customer service is stellar. Been ordering from them for a while, and i remain impressed by their drive to make sure everything is just right
I’ve paid twice as much for brands that didn't have this level of quality. The finish on these is flawless, and they have the maximum amount of metal for the size, making them dense and heavy. The variety in sizes and colors covers all my needs, from small midges to large, buggy stones. I will definitely be buying more and recommending them to friends!
Glenn and the crew are awesome. Always helpful, great beads.
Ordered 600 beads this time, Based on past use and examination of the beads. They are excellent quality, consistently colored, free from burrs or chips. THE PRICE IS RIGHT. Jgcannon3
I've been tying since the early '90s, and these are the best quality slotted tungsten beads I've ever found. Period. Considering the quality, the price is unbeatable as well. Ordering more asap!
Ordering process simple. Like the ability to bundle like pieces for a VERY fair price. Bought tungsten beads and getting ready to make use of them as season is open and tying will start again. They look to be of nice quality. Customer service is also very quick on the ball which is a commodity these days.
