Benefits and key features of Devaux Gold Tungsten Beads

Designed for purists and enthusiasts alike, this Devaux product is an expert choice. With a density higher than brass, tungsten allows your nymphs to reach the desired depth quickly, even in strong currents. The shiny gold finish catches light, mimicking the natural sparkle of prey and triggering strikes from wary fish. The flared design speeds up tying, reduces hook wear, and ensures perfect alignment on the hook shank.

Usage tips and recommended rigs

• For river or reservoir fishing, favor these beads on nymphs, perdigones, or heavy-headed patterns



• Use a bead-appropriate hook eye or preformed head to ensure natural action



• These beads are ideal for fast-water techniques, allowing imitations to reach the bottom quickly



• Combine them with natural materials (feathers, dubbing) for hyper-realistic imitations

The high-end machining makes tying easier, which is especially appreciated during long tying sessions." – Paul, experienced fly tyer and fly angler

FAQ and additional information

• Why choose tungsten over brass? Tungsten is much denser, allowing the bead to sink the fly faster and reach the zone where fish are actively feeding.



• Are the beads corrosion-resistant? Yes, the gold finish and quality machining provide durable protection against oxidation.



• Are they suitable for beginners? Absolutely — their design simplifies tying, even for less experienced anglers.
