Product benefits and highlights

• Fast, natural weighting: tungsten density gives nymphs an instant bottom-edge positioning and ensures ideal presentation
• Devaux machining: precision drilling and calibrated opening for easy threading onto the hook, preventing damage to silk or tippet
• Exceptional longevity: tungsten resists oxidation and retains its properties over time
• Universal solution: suitable for all environments (river, reservoir, stream) and all seasons
• Practical organization: each box prevents mixing for faster and safer tying

Usage tips and recommended rigs
To get the most from the Devaux Tungsten Drop, choose a size that matches the hook profile used for the nymph. Slide the drop onto the hook before any dressing, with the hollowed face toward the eye to ensure optimal fit. Prefer a beadhead or a fine-wire weighted nymph to maximize presentation and sink quickly into the current zone.

River anglers will fully benefit from this weight in fast water, while reservoir anglers will use it to reach deeper layers where wary fish hold. Pairing with natural materials (dubbing, feathers) helps preserve the fly’s natural appearance.
