Product information "Tungsten Off Center Beads (gold)"

Tungsten Beads for Jig-Style Nymphs

Tungsten Off Center Beads combine additional weight with a unique hook-up riding position for your hand-tied nymphs. Unlike conventional tungsten beads, the hole for the hook shank is positioned off center, shifting the fly's center of gravity.

In the water, this helps the nymph ride in a jig-style, hook-point-up position. Keeping the hook point away from rocks and other obstacles helps reduce snagging when fishing nymphs close to the bottom.

More Weight in a Compact Bead

Tungsten's high density makes it an excellent material for adding weight to flies. The special shape of the Off Center Beads provides another advantage. At a comparable size, Off Beads are approximately 25% heavier than conventional tungsten beads.

This additional weight helps your nymph reach the desired depth quickly without requiring an unnecessarily large bead. They are an excellent choice for deep nymphing, Euro Nymphing and fishing in fast currents.

Tungsten Off Beads are also suitable for tying small trout streamers that need to reach depth quickly.

Tungsten Beads and Hook Size Guide?

  • 2,0 mm: Hook sizes #16 to #20
  • 2,3 mm: Hook sizes #14 to #18
  • 2,8 mm: Hook sizes #12 to #16
  • 3,3 mm: Hook sizes #10 to #14
  • 4,0 mm: Hook sizes #8 to #12
  • 4,6 mm: Hook sizes #4 to #10

Choose a larger Off Bead when you want your fly to sink faster. A smaller bead reduces weight and works well in shallower water, slower currents or whenever a slower sink rate is required.Inhalt / Packungsgröße:

Contents:

  • 20 beads per pack in sizes 2.0 to 3.3 mm
  • 10 beads per pack in sizes 4.0 to 4.6 mm


Why Tungsten Off Beads?

Tungsten Off Beads are an excellent choice when your nymphs need to sink fast and ride hook point up. The additional weight gets the fly down quickly, while the off-center hole promotes a snag-resistant jig-style position. For modern nymph patterns, Euro Nymphing and heavily weighted flies, Off Beads are an essential addition to any well-equipped fly tying bench.

Nev-R-Sink Floatant

Nev-R-Sink - it's just better! Nev-R-Sink has become a floatant legend in its own time. That it could be improved upon wasn't considered possible. Scientists didn't give up hope and carried on the extensive research. The result is Nev-R-Sink II. Your fly floats higher in the surface and even the finest CDC feathers aren't glued together.

Grayling Special Leader (with Loop)

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.
