Overview
Egan's Tungsten Surveyor is a flashy Euro-nymph tied with a bright red hot spot, pearl tinsel body, and ice dubbing thorax for maximum attraction. A slotted tungsten bead gives it a fast sink rate, making it ideal for tight-line nymphing. The sparse, slim profile cuts through current and triggers aggressive takes, especially in clear or pressured water.
