Wapsi Tungsten Coneheads Small Gold – Fast Sink Rate & Flash

Enhance depth and visibility with Wapsi Tungsten Coneheads Small Gold

A tungsten conehead added to your fly shifts the balance, helping it sink faster through the water column. The Small Gold version combines weight with a bright, reflective finish to create eye-catching flashes as light moves across the surface. In practical terms, this can help your pattern reach deeper holding zones and maintain a steady drift without requiring extra effort from your cast.

The tapered cone head is designed to be relatively snag-free, reducing resistance during the forward cast and when you mend line for a smoother presentation. This balance of weight and streamlining can support more controlled depth management, especially in varied water and current conditions.

Finish options include polished gold, nickel, or copper plating, or a painted finish to suit your pattern. The polished gold finish adds visible flash that can grab attention in brighter light or shaded areas, while other finishes offer different reflections. For a subtler look, black is a practical choice that blends with darker water or overcast days.
