Tungsten Eyes

Sink your fly super fast

Using a tungsten bead, cone, body form, or dumbbell is the fastest and easiest way to add significant weight to your fly. Since tungsten is approximately twice as heavy as brass, you can really make your fly bomb toward the bottom. In most situations the added weight of a tungsten bead to the fly often eliminates the need to add split shot to the leader.

Unlike lead, tungsten is non-toxic and safe for the environment. On streams that prohibit the use of lead it is an excellent substitute and often the only way to get your flies down to the level of the fish.

Wapsi offers several different tungsten products in a variety of sizes each designed to get your flies down deep fast.

Tungsten Bomb Beads

Tungsten Bomb Beads are twice as heavy as brass and even heavier than lead. These beads have a tapered hole that makes it easy to install them on the hook. These are sold 10 per package.

Tungsten Bomb Beads

Tungsten Faceted Beads utilize unique facets which add additional flash to the fly and offer the added benefit of easy identification in your fly box. These are sold 10 per package.

Tungsten Coneheads

Our new Tungsten Conehead design features a hidden slot that lets the hook bend slip through more easily. These are sold 10 per package.

Tungsten Fly Humps

Our Tungsten Fly Humps are a great substitute for lead wire and make a nice body form for scuds and sowbugs. They simply epoxy into place and make a more precise body shape than wrapped lead wire. These are sold 10 per package.
