Fulling Mill OE Double Bead Beatis

Two small beads instead of one big one

The usual way to weight a small nymph is a single bead at the head, which fattens the front and makes the fly dive nose-first. Two tiny tungsten beads set into the body do the same work while keeping the profile slim all the way along, so it sinks fast and sits level rather than tipping. That combination, weight without bulk, is exactly what you want in clear water and on fish that inspect properly. Fish it small and fish it confidently.
