Product information "Tungsten Beads (bronze)"
Classic Tungsten Beads for Tying Nymphs
TRAUN RIVER Tungsten Beads are designed for adding weight to a wide variety of nymphs and other fly patterns. The high density of tungsten provides substantial weight in a compact bead, helping your fly reach the desired fishing depth quickly without requiring an oversized bead.
The classic hole design makes these tungsten beads a versatile choice at the fly tying bench. They work with numerous nymph hooks and traditional patterns, from small bead head nymphs to heavily weighted flies for deep pools and fast currents.
Get Your Nymphs Down Fast
Controlling fishing depth is an important part of successful nymph fishing. The high density of tungsten makes it an excellent material for tying compact, fast-sinking flies.
Different bead diameters allow you to adjust the weight and sink rate of your nymph according to water depth, current speed and fly size.
Smaller tungsten beads are ideal for subtle nymph patterns. Larger beads add more weight for fishing deep pools and strong currents.
This makes TRAUN RIVER Tungsten Beads suitable for traditional nymph fishing, Euro Nymphing and other modern nymphing techniques.
Choose the Right Bead Color
In addition to size and weight, bead color influences the appearance of your finished fly. Different colors allow you to adapt your nymph patterns to fishing conditions, fly design and personal preferences.
Bronze provides a more subtle appearance and combines well with natural brown, olive and beige fly patterns.

Tungsten Bead and Hook Size Guide
- 3.3 mm: Hook sizes #10 to #14
- 3.8 mm: Hook sizes #8 to #12
- 4.6 mm: Hook sizes #6 to #12
These recommendations provide a useful starting point. A larger tungsten bead adds more weight and increases the sink rate. Choose a smaller diameter for lighter, more subtle nymphs and shallower water.
The Benefits of Classic Tungsten Beads
Classic Tungsten Beads are an essential material for fly tying. Their compact size and high weight provide plenty of options when adjusting your nymph patterns. Different sizes and colors allow you to tie everything from lightweight nymphs for shallow water to heavily weighted patterns for deep pools and strong currents.
Tip for Tying Jig Nymphs
Want to tie nymphs on jig hooks? Take a look at our Slotted Tungsten Beads or our special Tungsten Off Beads.
Slotted Tungsten Beads are particularly well suited to jig hooks thanks to their slotted design. Tungsten Off Beads feature an off-center hole that shifts the fly's center of gravity and helps the nymph ride hook point up. This reduces the risk of snagging when fishing close to the bottom. Off Beads are also approximately 25% heavier than comparable standard tungsten beads.
Choose standard Tungsten Beads for traditional nymph patterns, Slotted Tungsten Beads for jig hooks and Tungsten Off Beads when you want a pronounced hook-point-up presentation.

Backing 20 lbs (chartreuse) 100 yds
There are times when a fluorescent coloured backing is a great advantage. It is essential, especially when fighting very large species, to be able to track the path of a running fish. A coloured fluorescent backing helps you to do this.This is not only true for saltwater fly fishing, it also applies to Salmon, Pike, Steelhead and large Trout. A new production process has allowed us to produce a backing that, even when loaded tightly onto the spool, doesn‘t cut into the backing beneath it forming a weak spot. Fly rodders have praised good backing on many occasions, after all, on the day of the big catch a weak backing is the last thing you need!

Grayling Special Leader (with Loop)
You will have noticed that longer finer leaders and light tippets are necessary when dry fly fishing for wary species, such as Grayling, on clear days. This induced us to develope the Grayling Special Leader.By precisely balancing the seperate sections of the Grayling Special we have produced a very accurate leader with excellent turn over qualities. It doesn‘t matter if you fish with small dry flies or the smallest midges, with the Grayling Special you will notice the difference. The shock absorbing section in the butt part of the leader is a cushion against breaking very fine tippets. You can of course use this leader for wary Trout as well. Emergers and weighted nymphs that do not have to be fished too deeply also pose no problem for the Grayling Special.
