Got about 30 on the Arizona diamond dub black red, balanced leech last trip out. I will be ordering a bunch of beads to tie the half wit style. Thanks, it really will be much easier to tie. I tie them from size 16 up to a size eight. Keep up the great job.
stillwater, but i've fished them under a bobber in deeper holes as the anchor fly when nymphing for steelhead from a drift boat too. you could even use it as a euro jig streamer if you wanted to. but the main target for balanced leeches like this is traditionally stillwater, yes
You need the density to achieve the balancing effect because the moment arm of the weight is so short. If you made it out of brass it would need to extend beyond the eye of the hook to balance which defeats the purpose.
Can't these companies make a jighead that doesn't sink a hundred miles a second at the fish,I crappie fish lakes and crappie don't like a super fast sinking jig coming at them,crappie like a slower presentation!!!
@@FlyFishFood yes I realize it's not a jighead, after watching the video where the beads were dropped in a glass of water,albeit no,materials,hook,or drag from a leader,the tungsten shot to the bottom of the glass, I'm going to do some testing on my own to see how fast they sink with a appropriately sized bead before I tie a bunch up.
@@randalmroczka7247 when you tie materials onto the hook, that'll help slow the descent of the fly as well. it'll grab water like a parachute to slow the descent. using smaller beads helps, but doesn't get you that balanced effect without enough weight to balance and offset that weight.
Great pattern, easy and quick to tie. I tied up several and used them up on Current Creek and rainbows loved it.

You guys are the bomb this insta jig has caught hundreds of trout in Oregon this year thank you!
Great pattern. Will try down here in Australia this week. cheers mate
Is that the same as the inverting tungsten beads that Devin Olsen talks about? Great video!
yupper
Great video! Can u explain how you fish dem in a competition? Static? Midge tip lines? Retrive speed options?
Nice! For even simpler “quarter wit”, use wapsi super jig hooks...
Thanks ACE ✨😎💫
Another killer Pattern SUPER - L 💥🎣🇺🇸
Come fish with Us in NW Michigan
🌞🎣☀️
Do you tie this on with a non-slip loop knot, or a clinch/uni/etc?
So COOL!!! Thanks.
Where would you fish a balance fly like this ? Still water ?

Nice! On it!
That cheech 😆😆
Wish they made those inverting beads in brass too, so it would not sink as fast as the tungsten.

All you need to do is use a smaller bead. This isn’t a jig head
