Benefits and product highlights

The Devaux Tungsten Nymph NTJ05 stands out thanks to its tungsten core that ensures effective weighting and rapid descent to the bottom where salmonids often hold. Its carefully crafted profile deceives even the wariest fish. Realistic tying, attention to detail and carefully selected materials guarantee superior longevity.

The Devaux experience produces a swim perfectly adapted to fast, moderate or slow currents, optimizing strike rates. This high-density nymph excels for sight nymphing, Spanish-style nymphing or natural drift techniques. Its reduced snag profile and strong hook-to-shank connection provide crisp, reliable hookups while limiting drop-offs and losses for improved catch rates.

Usage tips and recommended rigs

To maximize the potential of the NTJ05 Nymph, favor thin tippets to preserve a natural presentation. Pair it with sight nymphing or tandem rigs to target wary fish during high-pressure periods. It performs best on a light-to-medium weighted leaderhead, using an upstream cast or controlled drift. Vary retrieval speed to match trout or grayling behavior.
