You wouldn't need to be a fly tying guy just slide the bead on then TM body behind or glue bead to shank. Dont know the weights though.
You are right Travis, I was wondering this myself, i think it will be cheaper this route, the only thing is finding out what the size/weight combo equals to on the regular sizes we are familiar with, I called this company and they were not able to tell me what the weights are,
any of you wizards can figure these weights based on the diameter of the bead and material it is made of??
