Traper Tungsten Bead 4.5 mm Slotted

Tungsten beads belong in every fly tyer's arsenal - at least if nymphs and streamers are going to end up in the box. Compared to other materials (such as brass or lead), tungsten has several key advantages: Firstly, the weight is significantly higher for the same diameter compared to other metals. This causes your nymph to sink faster towards the bottom, allowing you to fish with smaller hook sizes. A big advantage in heavily fished waters! Additionally, tungsten is non-toxic, making it safe for our rivers and lakes. If you want to add an extra enticing point to your pattern, you should definitely try out the colored tungsten beads; these are often the key to success, especially in low temperatures or murky water.

Slotted beads, like the Traper Slotted Tungsten Beads, are typically used for jig hooks. It's only through the special borehole that the bead slides over the angled eye of the jig, causing the hook to run upside-down during presentation. This tying method helps reduce snags.
