Firehole Tungsten Tear Drop Body in Birthday Suit 2.4mm
Firehole Tungsten Tear Drop Body in Birthday Suit 2.4mm, Description: This is a through hole, tear drop shaped tungsten body; differing from current offerings which sit on top of the hook. This product has been in various levels of development for over 4 years, having been through a half dozen mold changes and two years of field testing; long enough to have already been copied (much longer story, thank goodness for US patent filings). This product was always intended to be released with my original Bug Collars years ago. The tear drop itself slides onto a hook just like a slotted bead. The shape is designed to heavily weight the fly in the general thorax position of your fly and then quickly tapers for a body transition. The shape and method of attachment are both designed to center the weight on the hook and create a realistic fly profile. The tear drop itself slides onto a hook just like a slotted bead.
