Do-It Beads 5/32" Nickel Plated 100ct
The Do-It Beads 5/32" Nickel Plated 100ct pack gives lure builders a versatile component that goes far beyond simple decoration. Whether you're tying soft plastics, assembling spinner rigs, or customizing buzz-spin lures, these nickel-plated beads serve as both functional bearing surfaces and acoustic elements. A 100-count supply means you'll have plenty on hand for a full season of tying without running short mid-project.
Nickel plating offers a clean, neutral finish that complements most lure color schemes and performs reliably in freshwater and light saltwater applications. The 5/32" size sits in that sweet spot for general-purpose lure building—large enough to create noticeable sound and movement when rattled, yet small enough to work on a range of jig heads and blade assemblies without adding excessive weight or bulk.
If you're building weighted spinners, buzz baits, or spinner jigs, these beads act as bearing surfaces that let blades and components move freely while adding subtle acoustic appeal to your presentation. DIY lure builders and tackle customizers keep bulk beads on hand because a box that might last a weekend with off-the-shelf lures can support weeks of creative tying when you're mixing and matching components to match local forage and seasonal conditions.
Do-It Products has been supplying lure-building materials to anglers for decades, and their beads are a staple in tackle boxes and tying benches everywhere. Stock a pack and unlock countless rigging possibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size spinner blades and jigs work with 5/32" beads?
The 5/32" size is versatile enough for most standard spinner jigs and weighted spinners. It fits comfortably on common wire gauges and clevis systems used in conventional lure building. If you're unsure whether they'll fit your specific component, measure the bead hole diameter against your wire or clevis shaft before assembly.
Can these beads be used on both weighted and unweighted spinners?
Yes. The beads function as bearing surfaces and acoustic elements on spinners of any weight. On lighter, unweighted spinners they add subtle sound; on heavier rigs they allow blade movement while contributing to the overall rattle profile.
What's the difference between nickel plating and other finishes?
Nickel plating offers a bright, neutral silver appearance that works well as a universal color match across most lure styles. The finish is durable and suitable for both freshwater and light saltwater use.
Will 100 beads be enough for a full season of lure tying?
That depends on how much you build. If you're a casual tier making a handful of lures per month, 100 should last well into the season. Active builders might want to stock multiple packs, especially if you're experimenting with different bead placements or building for friends.
