>>1648500euronymping is a different animal, ill admit, but i honestly still dont see a reason to pay for tungsten. i mean, pic related has an all wire body and would work as well if not better tied on a jig hook. it'd be a great anchor fly, because it weighs a ton. a little lead wire under the dubbing, plus wire body, plus bead (or 1/64th ounce jig head in this case)
>>1648526maybe he does catch fish because of his tungsten beads, they might make it easier, but just because something has marginal increase in performance doesn't necessarily imply that its worth the investment. sure they might sink faster, but they cost over twice as much for a fly that's going to be lost to the rocks as fast if not faster than my normal nymphs.
>>1648521when im trying to convince people to go barbless, that's my first point every time.
