Anyone
who has ever fished with a two fly rig has experienced the
frustration of seeing it come back in a tangled mess. Gamakatsu’s
new Dropper Beads will help alleviate that problem. The Dropper
Bead is a clear plastic oval bead with a hole running length
wise through the center that the leader goes through and a
second hole underneath it running perpendicular to the other
one to attach a dropper line to. The easiest way to rig it
is to put it on the leader before tying the tippet. The tippet
knot will keep it from sliding forward. Once in place, the
dropper line can be easily attached. Since the Dropper Bead
can slide and spin on the line, the dropper fly is less likely
to tangle with the fly on the tippet. The Dropper Bead is
also neutrally buoyant and won’t interfere with the cast
or prevent the leader from turning over. They’re useful
for other purposes like attaching a strike indicator or attaching
a weight.
The
Dropper Beads are available in 3 sizes, Large, Medium and
Small to accommodate different line sizes and applications.
