Thanks to the light olive shade, concealment is optimal when fishing pressured rivers. Furthermore, the slot enables a secure fit, including on bent hooks or wide-gap hooks. The high resistance of tungsten allows multiple uses without loss of shine or functionality.

Usage tips and recommended rigs :

For best results, choose the appropriate tool to insert the bead effortlessly and prefer a strong thread or tinsel during tying to preserve the fly’s strength.
