Wapsi Cyclops Beads

Adding a bead to your nymph will allow it to sink deeper and attract more fish with the added colour options and flash. Wapsi Cyclops beads are the perfect option.

Bead head flies have became popular for many reasons. For example, when in heavily fished waters the extra weight of the bead head will sink a small fly deeper than it could have been fished previously. As a result, nymph fisherman started using smaller and smaller flies and began catching more fish than before.

Also, the added flash from the bead often attracts trout, especially those that have been stocked in public water. The extra weight of the bead reduces the need for split shot on the leader: thus it is easier to cast with fewer tangles.

Many bead head flies are very simple in design so they are fast and inexpensive to tie.
