Usage and recommended rigs :
The Devaux Gold Brass Head is recommended for tying nymphs, streamers and certain weighted dry flies.

Favor careful tying to exploit the gold finish that stimulates and attracts trout, grayling and other salmonids. For optimal results, adjust the head size according to hook length and position the head correctly to ensure natural balance. Pair it with natural or synthetic dubbing to enhance the imitation of aquatic prey.
