Fruitrollup 0 Report post Posted February 6 58 minutes ago, wildwilly said: Why not a slotted tungsten bead? You can certainly use them, they are made for jig hooks, however, most of the slotted bead weight ends up slightly behind the eye. Use the inverting beads like this to place more weight under/in front of the eye, to achieve a more horizontal presentation. It’s not a perfect balanced leech but it is way easier than the typical balanced approach of a pin and bead. There is more information at Fly Fish Food. This approach is called the “Half Wit” balanced style. https://www.flyfishfood.com/blogs/stillwater-tutorials/half-wit-balanced-leech Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
