Heavy Metal | The Weight Of Fly Fishing

Is that fish tungsten worthy? Are you willing to lose ten dollars worth of beads to catch that trout? Which bead to use for spring creeks? Which bead do you need for plunge pools? Rob breaks down the different reasons to weight your flies and the methods used. This episode covers cones and beads to putty and dumbells. You will learn what they are made from, their mass, and current market price. Some are lightweight while others are extremely heavy. Additionally, Rob tells the story from his college days about how he obtained his office’s wooden bookshelf.
