FL PINK — slotted tungsten.
(Tungsten prices have gone up)
Fluorescent pink tungsten bead nymphs have proven themselves in many river competitions.
Fluorescent pink tungsten beads hit a few key triggers at once:
- Visibility in broken water – that hot pink pops in glacial tint, foam lines, and depth where natural tones disappear
- Attractor effect – it gives a subtle “egg / food signal” without being a full-on egg pattern
- Weight advantage – tungsten gets the fly down fast, which is everything in comps where time = fish
- Contrast trigger – especially deadly on otherwise natural nymphs (pheasant tail, hare’s ear, perdigons)
A lot of comp anglers run them as:
- A point fly (pink bead gets noticed first)
- Or a tag/anchor fly to get depth + draw attention while a more natural dropper seals the deal
Where they really shine:
- Slightly colored water
- Early season / higher flows
- Rivers with pressure where fish need something just a bit different
Where they can fall off:
- Ultra-clear, low water (then it can spook fish—switch to gold, black nickel, or matte)
If you’ve been tying them for your own stuff (or selling through troutbum), it’s honestly a smart niche—guys who fish comps or technical water notice when something just flat-out works.
