    Little hooks and beads

    Hey sirs...I am loving your vids, thanks so much. I've come up with a problem I need a suggestion for: I can't handle the tiny 1/16th beads and getting them on the small midge hooks. I drop them all over the place...my fingers are too big and get in the way. Is there a tool or something? Driving me nuts! :-\ :-\
    Sun, wind, water to you,

    -Kirk

    Re: Little hooks and beads

    Here is my favorite.

    Notice the pockets in the tweezer tips for holding the beads.
    Most larger fly shops also carry them.



    Another device is here.

    Re: Little hooks and beads

    Try picking up the hook with your hackle pliers and positioning it so that you can easily put the bead on the hook. That was my solution for a similar problem. If you struggle to just pick up the beads in general, try the bead tweezers.
