Scandinavian tungsten cone heads

Veniard Scandinavian Tungsten Cone Heads add concentrated weight and a clean finish to salmon and sea trout tube flies. Veniard designed them specifically to work with its Scandinavian Style Tubing. Therefore, they provide a neat fit when building modern Scandinavian-style tube patterns.

Unlike standard brass cones, Veniard makes these heads from tungsten. Tungsten provides considerably more weight for its size. As a result, you can add substantial weight to a tube fly without creating an oversized head. This helps the fly reach its fishing depth quickly while maintaining a compact profile.

Every size features a 2mm bore for fitting onto suitable tube fly tubing. The cone sits at the front of the fly and concentrates the weight around the head. Consequently, it creates a distinctly front-weighted tube fly. This can help the fly cut down through faster currents and reach deeper lies.

The Scandinavian profile also gives the finished fly a smooth transition between the body and head. Therefore, these cones work particularly well on modern salmon patterns tied with Scandinavian Style Tubing. They also provide a durable alternative to softer or lighter head materials.

Colour gives the tyer another useful option. Traditional Gold and Silver finishes create a clean metallic head. Meanwhile, the fluorescent colours add a strong visual hotspot. Options include fluorescent Orange, Red, Pink, White and Yellow, with availability depending on size.

Four sizes allow the tyer to adjust both the profile and weight of the finished fly. Extra Small measures 3.5mm x 4mm. Small measures 4mm x 4.5mm. Medium measures 5mm x 5mm. Large measures 5mm x 6mm. Therefore, you can build everything from compact tubes to substantially weighted salmon patterns.

For tyers producing Scandinavian-style salmon and sea trout flies, these tungsten cones provide weight, colour and a professional finish in one simple component.

Performance

The tungsten construction adds significant weight without requiring an excessively large cone. Therefore, the fly sinks quickly and maintains a compact profile. The front-loaded position also helps get tube flies down in stronger flows and deeper water.

Who Is It For?

Veniard Scandinavian Tungsten Cone Heads suit salmon and sea trout fly tyers who build weighted tube flies. They are particularly useful with Veniard Scandinavian Style Tubing. Different sizes and colours also allow tyers to alter the weight, profile and hotspot of individual patterns.
