Slotted beads are heavier than traditional countersunk nymph beads and will slide around the bend of nearly any hook. They are also the preferred bead for use with jig hooks. Tungsten beads are 150% heavier than lead and over 200% heavier than brass beads. Use these beads for your beadhead nymphs and they will sink much faster than with traditional brass beads.
