JP's Nymphing Mud - Soft Tungsten Weight - Gray The notch at the base

The notch at the base of the blades is designed for cutting wire and lead

I am not a fan of split shot on leaders

These are "premium" tungsten beads for the discerning fly tier that uses only the best materials

Ginger Variant

Highly recommended

JP's Nymphing Mud - Soft Tungsten Weight - Gray The notch at the baseI am not a fan of split shot on leaders. I prefer to use soft tungsten putty I use to make my own based on a few commercial products until I found JP's. I spin a small football shape on the leader and I am ready to go. Do not over do it a little goes a long way. Also, it will not snag like split shot it could easily pay for it self by eliminating lost flies from snags. Highly recommended. Made in the USA.
