Bead head Brassie copper : The Ultimate Weighted Nymph for Deep Drilling Trout
The Bead head Brassie copper is a must-have weighted nymph that combines quick-sinking brass tungsten beads with a flash-generating wire body to imitate midges, mayflies, and BWOs with deadly accuracy. Available in sizes 18-22, this pattern gets deep fast while maintaining a natural, segmented profile that triggers strikes in all conditions.
Why it outperforms:
- Instant depth: Beadhead design reaches feeding zones faster than unweighted nymphs
- Versatile imitation: Works as midge larva, mayfly nymph, or general attractor
- Low-light killer: Copper/silver wire body flashes subtly in murky water or deep pools
- Tournament-proven: Trusted by competitive anglers for pressured fish
Pro tips for success:
? Fish under an indicator in deep pools during winter
? Try euro-nymphing with a 3-fly rig in spring currents
? Use size 20-22 versions for selective trout during PMD hatches
Pair it with 5X fluorocarbon for maximum sink rate and natural drift.
