Sink your fly super fastUsing a tungsten bead, cone, body form, or dumbbell is the fastest and easiest way to add significant weight to your fly. Since tungsten is approximately twice as heavy as brass, you can really make your fly bomb toward the bottom. In most situations the added weight of a tungsten bead to the fly often eliminates the need to add split shot to the leader.Unlike lead, tungsten is non-toxic and safe for the environment. On streams that prohibit the use of lead it is an excellent substitute and often the only way to get your flies down to the level of the fish. Wapsi offers 7 different tungsten products in a variety of sizes (click here for sizing chart) each designed to get your flies down deep fast. Tungsten Disco Beads are fabulous, extra reflective, sparkling beads made from super heavy tungsten. The slot in the bead works with hooks designed with aggressive hook bends. These are sold 10 per package. |
