We pride ourselves on making our tools, like the BeadMaster™ , right here in the United States, using only the highest quality materials. We strive to minimize the impact our manufacturing processes, packaging and operations have on the environment.







What makes the BeadMaster™ so special...

Machine polished stainless steel handle provides a sleek look and comfortable feel and balance. Mounting foot and tip cap are molded from industrial polyurethane to ensure strength, durability and professional finish. Six offset mounting sockets allow for enhanced visibility and easy access to even the smallest bead. Innovative design of mounting sockets incorporates conical taper to align and keep beads in correct orientation. Hook channel facilitates easy removal of hook and bead. Molded reinforced ribs provided support and increased stability for mounting sockets. Each mounting socket is sized and individually labeled for corresponding bead size. Flat bottom of mounting foot allows the BeadMaster™ to stand alone on tying surface for easy access. Axially magnetized, neodymium rare earth magnet helps retrieve and secure hooks for easy access. Socket alignment indicator enables fast location of desired mounting socket when tying multiple flies with same size bead (simply rotate the mounting foot to align the desired socket with the indicator).
