What Dry Rod is telling you is you can certainly use regular bead for flies (specially the scud ones with a bead body).
But for fly heads, FLY BEADS are small on one end (the end that goes next to the eye of the hook) and on larger hole on the other side (so you can tuck the final thread wraps under the bead).
So, unfortunately, we still have to buy the real or should I say REEL thing at times.
