Whenever you need to add additional weight to your patterns, Hareline’s Tungsten Cones are the perfect choice. Made from tungsten, these cones are much heavier than your standard Cones, making them an excellent choice when fishing in deep water or whenever you want an exaggerated jigging motion in your flies. Hareline makes their Tungsten Cones in a variety of sizes and colors so that you can whip up the exact size and look of fly that you’re after–gold and copper are great choices whenever you want a bit of flash in your flies, while black and nickel are safe choices when you want a presentation that’s a bit more subdued. Ready for use in both salt and freshwater, you can count on these cones whether you’re tying up a large sculpin pattern or a fresh batch of Bob Popovics’s Jiggies for the salt.
Uses
Hareline’s Tungsten Cones are most often incorporated whenever you’re looking to add weight and/or a jigging action to your flies. These cones can be worked into a ton of different patterns, and with their heavy tungsten composition, getting down quickly has never been easier.
Comparisons
There are many different types of cones out there, and if you’re looking for a nearly identical option, Spirit River’s Tungsten Cones are exactly that. However, if you want to add a cone to your flies with less weight, then Hareline’s Brass Cone Heads are the perfect choice. These cones are made from brass instead of tungsten, so they’re much lighter and sink slower, yet they still maintain that effective jigging action while adding a touch of weight. Both of these cones are good options, but depending on the water you’re fishing, one option may be more suitable.
