Renomed FT 5 The Bead Catcher Tweezers
Renomed FT 5 The Bead Catcher is specially designed for fly tyers who work with bead heads and want maximum control when positioning and holding them. The tip is designed to increase friction and provide a secure grip while minimising the risk of scratching the surface of the bead, including painted bead heads.
The tip of the tweezers gently adapts to the shape of the bead head, helping to prevent it from rotating, slipping or being dropped. This makes the FT 5 The Bead Catcher a specialised tool for precise operations when tying nymphs and other bead head patterns.
Why Choose Renomed FT 5 The Bead Catcher?
| Secure Bead Head Grip | The specially shaped tip provides stable contact and precise control over the bead head. |
| Surface-Friendly Design | Designed to minimise the risk of scratching the bead, particularly painted bead head models. |
| Reverse-Action Mechanism | The reverse-action mechanism allows the bead head to be held securely without continuously applying finger pressure. |
| Micro-Structured Tip | A fine cross-hatched or linear microstructure measuring 40–80 μm increases friction without damaging the material. |
| Bevelled Edges | The tip features bevelled edges for a precise and controlled grip. |
More Control When Working with Bead Heads
When tying nymphs, positioning a bead head can require precise movements, especially when working with small sizes or painted beads whose surface can easily be scratched. FT 5 The Bead Catcher is designed specifically for this task – providing a secure grip without requiring excessive pressure on the bead.
The reverse-action mechanism allows the tweezers to hold the bead head continuously without requiring constant pressure from your hand. This frees up some of your attention and makes precise work easier when good fine motor control is required.
Designed Specifically for Fly Tyers
The Bead Catcher is not simply a general-purpose pair of tweezers, but a tool developed for one specific task – securely and precisely holding a bead head. This makes it particularly useful for fly tyers who frequently tie nymphs with metal beads and value precise handling and control over every element of the fly.
Made by Renomed
FT 5 The Bead Catcher is made from high-quality stainless steel, the material Renomed uses for its precision tools. The stainless steel construction is suitable for disinfection and sterilisation, while the characteristic Renomed handcrafted finish is focused on precision and durability.

Advice from FlyFishing.bg
FT 5 The Bead Catcher is a highly specialised tool, and that is exactly where its advantage lies. If you frequently tie bead head nymphs, especially with painted beads, being able to hold them securely without continuously applying pressure to the tweezers makes the tying process much more controlled. In our opinion, this is an interesting tool for any fly tyer who wants a dedicated pair of tweezers for working with bead heads rather than relying on a standard general-purpose pair.
