Tying Tungsten

Calling all fly tiers.......?
Whats YOUR favorite way to add weight to the flies you tie. With some many things on the market i wanted to know what was the most popular...lead wire, tungsten Bead Head, ceramic heads, brass bead heads.... the list goes on. Which method do YOU use the most?
One way to add weight to a nymph is to add a lead split shot infront of the hook eye when tying, it works great for deeper water nymphs and is very simple, the color is not too bright either. Give it a go, works great on river patterns.
I use lead wire unless I am wanting to tie a fly specifically with a bead head, or a fly with "eyes", in which case use the tiny led "dumbells" and paint eyes on the ends.
Lead wire is the best to use when you want to hide the weight you are adding. With other methods, you must incorporate the weight (bead, etc.) into the fly design.
