PRO Sportfisher Drop Weights are versatile brass tube fly weights designed to help fly tyers control sink rate, profile, and movement when building modern tube flies. Made to fit the PRO TubeFly System, these weights are compatible with PRO Micro Tubes, Flexi Tubes, and other PRO tube components, making them an easy choice for tying steelhead tube flies, salmon flies, spey flies, Intruders, and fast-sinking swing patterns.
These drop weights do more than simply add weight. When hackle, marabou, dubbing, or shoulder materials are tied directly in front of the weight, the larger rear edge helps flare materials outward, creating added movement and a fuller profile without needing a separate dubbing ball or chenille bump.
The PRO Sportfisher Drop Weight gives tyers a simple way to adjust how fast a tube fly sinks. Smaller sizes are great for lightly weighted patterns, while larger sizes help get flies down quickly in heavier current, deeper runs, or cold-water steelhead and salmon situations.
Their polished brass construction also provides a clean, durable foundation for tying. Whether you are building sparse Scandinavian-style flies or larger winter swing patterns, Drop Weights allow you to fine-tune both the fly’s depth and silhouette.
PRO Sportfisher Drop Weights are ideal for tying:
PRO Sportfisher Drop Weights are one of the most useful components in the tube fly system because they add both function and profile control. They help get flies into the strike zone while also creating a natural flare point for hackles and flowing materials. For tyers who want to fine-tune sink rate, depth, movement, and silhouette, these brass drop weights are a highly practical addition to any tube fly tying bench.
