Description

Considering the increased use of small jig hooks for competition fishing, and the resulting growing interest in tying flies on these hooks, slotted tungsten is almost mandatory as the bead of choice.

Field Notes

Use slotted tungsten beads as a fly-tying material to add weight and sink rate to small jig hooks. Thread the slotted bead onto the hook shank before tying the fly materials.

Pros

High-density tungsten for compact weight
Slotted design makes bead placement easy on small hooks
Good for dialing in fly sink rate for jig-style flies

Cons

Requires fly-tying/assembly to use effectively
Bead size selection matters for balance and hook clearance
