Beads play several important roles in fishing: they attract fish with their flash and colour, help nymphs sink quickly to the strike zone, and keep flies in the correct position.
Tungsten has a specific weight of 18 kg/dm³, nearly twice that of lead. This allows your flies to be slimmer and smaller while still sinking efficiently to the bottom.
Tungsten nymphs are absolutely essential for fishing in deep pools and fast streams.
