Usage tips and recommended rigs
These beads are perfectly suited to modern nymph patterns (pheasant tail, perdigones, jig, ceramic nymph, etc.). It is recommended to use hooks with straight or curved eyes to fully benefit from the notched slot. Pair them with lead heads for deep fishing or with synthetic materials for ultra-light imitations. For an effective tie-in, insert the bead from the slot side, secure the tying thread behind the bead and lock it with neat wraps. Ideal techniques: drift fishing, fishing in fast water or on deep lies.
