Weight vs. Bouyancy

I go through a lot of beads trying to find ones that will go over the hook. Only about 30% will do it when I buy from the local stores. Getting a business to understand what I need is impossible most of the time. Shipwreck beads is about the only one that has ever taken the time to even try to understand.

It's good to think out side the box so to speak and if you like ideas like these then you probably should look at some fly boards and some have a lot of pictures and how to. You can get a lot of great patterns from fly tying even if you don't tie flies.

Nice looking idea you have,

For plastic beads use a real small drill clamped with vise grips turn bead onto drill to open up. Suprisingly little has to come out to enable bead to slip over hook. Have not found a way to do metal or glass beads yet.

This way works for a small amount probably would be tedious for commercial tying.

I don't know if that will work with the Hematite beads but is worth a try.
