Fulling Mill Tungsten Andrzejs High Visibility - Barbless

What a hot spot is actually for

A bright collar on an otherwise ordinary nymph is doing more than catching the eye. The common thinking is that it gives a fish a precise point to aim at, which turns half-hearted follows into proper takes and cuts down on the ones that come short. Whether or not that is the mechanism, hot spots have earned their place in nymph boxes everywhere. The tungsten bead takes it down quickly so the collar is working at the depth the fish are holding.
