Todd Tungsten Beads – Gold
Todd Tungsten Beads in Gold are a must-have for fly tiers looking to create effective bead head flies that sink quickly and get into the strike zone. Tungsten is significantly heavier than traditional brass beads, allowing smaller flies to reach greater depths without additional split shot.
Bead-head flies have become extremely popular among nymph anglers. The added weight allows flies to fish deeper in heavily pressured water, while the flash of the gold bead can attract trout—especially in stocked fisheries and public waters.
Using tungsten beads also reduces the need for split shot on the leader, making casting easier and minimising tangles. Because many bead head patterns are simple to tie, they are quick and cost-effective to produce while still being highly effective on the water.
