Perfect dropper nymph tied with TWO tungsten beads, one of which is hidden in the thorax, an epoxy overcoat and a sparkling wing case. Lots of colors and sizes, tied on a short hook, so keep in mind these are smaller than their hook size makes it seem. Ah…the Two Bit Hooker. This is one of my favorite patterns ever and I can honestly say it’s one found on the end of my tippet most days. I just don’t fish without it. I love to fish it, and it was designed to be fished, on a dropper under a dry fly, but I also use it in a two fly rig when I have to get dirty. My favorite versions are a size 14 red tied with 3/32″ tungsten beads and a black size 18 tied with 1/16″ tung beads. The dark olive is a huge seller as is the brown version and the new color additions of both pink and purple have been deadly. The short answer is; you can’t really go wrong with a Two Bit.
