With the Soldarini Tungsten Beads XXL MAX SINKING Slotted Tungsten Beads, you can get your nymphs or streamers exactly where others can’t fish – into the deep holes where the big fish are!
Tungsten beads are a must-have in every fly tyer’s toolkit, especially when nymphs and streamers are part of your arsenal. Compared to other materials like brass or lead, tungsten (or wolfram) offers several key advantages. First, its weight is significantly higher for the same diameter compared to other metals. This allows your nymph to sink faster to the bottom, enabling the use of smaller hook sizes – a major plus in heavily fished waters! Additionally, tungsten is non-toxic, making it safe for rivers and lakes. If you want to add an extra visual trigger to your patterns, be sure to try the color-anodized tungsten beads or the metallic versions!
Slotted beads are typically used for jig hooks. Thanks to the specially designed hole, the bead slides easily over the angled eye of the jig hook, positioning the hook point to face upwards during presentation. This tying method helps reduce snags.
Details:
- High-quality slotted tungsten beads
