Opinions.
Never tied them.
Weight, appearance, results, more?


I don't notice much difference between beaded nymphs and using split
shot as far as fishing goes, *BUT* it's much easier and faster to
switch from beaded nymphs to dry when a hatch starts poppin'.

Why is that? You just cut off thew nymph and slide off the weight?
Not too hard.

The split shot I've used has either a tendency to slide around on the
tippet if too loose, or cause abrasion to the tippet if tight enough to
stay put. Maybe I'm not doing something right. Ideas?
