Pro Drop Weights
Get Down to Business
Pro Drop Weight is what you add to your tube flies when fish are holding deep and your unweighted patterns are swinging over their heads like optimistic clouds. These precision-machined weights slip onto your ProTube system and get your flies down to where the fish actually live, not where you wish they lived.
Why Dedicated Weights Matter
Sure, you could wrap lead wire or add split shot, but that's the fly tying equivalent of duct tape—it works, but it's not elegant. Pro Drop Weights are designed specifically for the ProTube system, which means they slide on smoothly, stay put, and don't mess with your fly's profile or action. They add weight exactly where you need it without turning your beautiful tube fly into a lumpy mess.
Perfect For
- Deep Swinging: Get your steelhead flies down into the strike zone in heavy water
- High Water Conditions: When the river's running fast and fish are hugging the bottom
- Salmon Fishing: Reach holding lies in deep pools and runs
- Trout Streamers: Sink your patterns to where big trout are waiting
The System Advantage
Pro Drop Weights work seamlessly with the entire ProTube system. Slide them onto your Flexitube or Microtube while tying, position them where you want the weight, and you're done.
Pro tip: Carry multiple weighted flies in different sizes so you can adjust your sink rate on the water. What works in the morning might be too heavy or too light by afternoon.
