Grayling fishing is an art that requires precision, the right technique, and most importantly, the perfect fly. Among the most effective patterns for targeting grayling are tungsten bead nymphs, particularly in **Glister Green** with a **No. 3 hook (Size 12) and a 2mm tungsten bead**.
In this guide, we’ll break down why this specific setup is ideal for grayling, how to choose the best version, and what makes **KyleBooker’s** tungsten bead grayling bugs stand out.

## **Why Tungsten Bead Grayling Bugs?**
Tungsten beads have revolutionized nymph fishing due to their **high-density weight**, allowing flies to sink quickly to the strike zone. Grayling often feed near the bottom, so a **2mm tungsten bead** ensures your fly gets down fast while maintaining a natural drift.
The **Glister Green** color mimics small aquatic insects and crustaceans, making it irresistible to grayling. Additionally, the **No. 3 hook (Size 12)** provides the perfect balance—large enough to hold securely but small enough to appear natural.

## **Key Features to Look for in a Grayling Bug**
### **1. Bead Size & Material**
– **2mm Tungsten Bead**: The ideal size for a balanced sink rate without being too heavy for shallow runs.
– **Tungsten vs. Brass**: Tungsten is denser, allowing for a smaller bead with the same weight—better for a natural presentation.
### **2. Hook Strength & Size**
– **No. 3 Hook (Size 12)**: A versatile size that works in both fast and slow currents.
– **Sharp, High-Quality Steel**: Ensures solid hooksets, especially important for grayling’s delicate takes.
### **3. Color & UV Enhancement**
– **Glister Green**: A proven color that imitates caddis larvae and small nymphs.
– **UV Reflective Materials**: Increases visibility in low-light conditions, triggering more strikes.
### **4. Durable Tying Materials**
– **Strong Thread & Hackle**: Ensures the fly lasts multiple fish.
– **Reinforced Head**: Prevents the bead from slipping and maintains durability.
