Benefits and product highlights
Devaux dark olive slot tungsten beads offer several major advantages to every fly tyer. Their high weight enables rapid sinking of your flies, even in strong currents. The specific slot cut allows quick placement over the hook bend while ensuring excellent long-term hold. The dark olive color, close to natural aquatic tones, increases lure realism and discretion with pressured fish, drastically reducing their wariness.
By using machined tungsten, you benefit from a compact accessory that avoids visually over-weighting your flies while offering the best compromise between realism, effectiveness and durability. Whether fishing mountain rivers or slower stretches, these beads are designed to adapt to all environments.

Usage tips and recommended rigs
To exploit the full potential of the Devaux dark olive slot tungsten beads, favor mounting on jig-style heads or on straight hooks suited to the slot. Ideal for techniques such as tight-line nymphing, tandem rigs or fishing in fast water, these beads allow the creation of very varied patterns: classic nymphs, perdigones, larvae or emergers. Ensure the bead size matches your hook diameter for a balanced, stable rig. Use strong tying thread to guarantee each fly's longevity and take advantage of the dark olive color to accurately imitate numerous invertebrate species.
